Family education, the beginning of education and an integral part of educational ecosystem, plays a fundamental role in school education and social education. It is necessary for family education to change from covert to overt in its state of existence; to change from one-way to two-way in its transfer direction; to change from scientific to comprehensive in its content and aim; to change from focusing on cultivating children to giving consideration to parents in its object of education; to change from separation to synthesis and integration in the relationship between its theoretical research and practical activities. Through investigation, it is found that the concept of family education lags behind, the content of education is not comprehensive enough, and the support from schools and society is grossly inadequate. Therefore, we must give full play to the guiding effect of government policies, the dominant role of parents, and the supportive role of school and society in family education, and build a tripartite interactive mechanism among family, school and society to promote the high-quality development of family education.
