People often have different views on “family education.” Some may say that family education is the education provided within the family or the integration of family and education. If you believe that family education involves raising children and teaching them the principles of life, then congratulations! You already have a fairly accurate understanding of family education. Here are three important and easily achievable family education practices for your reference:

Engage in Conversations at the Dinner Table

If parents tend to educate or reprimand their children at the dinner table, it can lead to feelings of sadness and digestive issues in the child. Many parents also enjoy watching TV while eating, which not only distracts the child but can also cause indigestion. The valuable “conversations” and “laughter” in family life can reduce stress and create a harmonious atmosphere of mutual trust and happiness. Starting today, please put down your phones, stop browsing the internet during meals, and sincerely enjoy a meal with your family.

3. Provide Positive Role Modeling

When parents react with panic and uncertainty to unexpected events, their children will likely respond in the same way when faced with difficulties in the future. If parents remain calm and composed in such situations, their children will learn to handle challenges with poise. This positively contributes to the development of the child’s psychological resilience. Parental role modeling profoundly influences children; all parents should strive to provide a clear and accurate reflection, helping their children develop a positive self-image.

Family education encompasses the physical and mental development of family members at different life stages, as well as the cultivation of attitudes and emotional lives. Families that frequently resort to corporal punishment or coercive discipline may raise children with low self-esteem or timid personalities. Conversely, families that indulge their children and allow them to govern themselves may produce children with arrogance and unreasonable behavior. Under the guidance of correct, positive, and loving family education, children can develop good character, establish correct values, and achieve holistic development that emphasizes a positive attitude towards life and appreciation for existence.
