1 Introduction
In its general sense, family education refers to the communication between parents and children. It takes place when a message is produced by one adult of the family for understanding and response by the child or children. As cultural variations are many and great, the ways of the family education are very different .Although as a formalized and defined area of study, family education has a comparatively short history, but more and more emphasis and importance have been placed on family education both in and outside the academic all over the world.
