Study on the Influence of Family Education Quality on Parent–Child Relationships

Abstract

With the rapid development of society and the intensification of educational competition, the significance of family education has become increasingly prominent. The family is not only the starting point of a child's socialization but also the key environment for personality formation and mental health. The quality of family education directly affects the harmony of parent–child relationships and the holistic development of children. Based on the interdisciplinary perspectives of education, psychology, and sociology, this paper employs literature review, questionnaire survey, and interview methods to examine how family education quality influences parent–child relationships. The results reveal that (1) family education quality is significantly and positively correlated with parent–child relationship quality; (2) parental educational beliefs, communication patterns, and emotional support are the key determinants; and (3) socioeconomic status, educational resources, and family culture mediate the depth and quality of parent–child interactions. Finally, this paper proposes strategies for improving family education quality from the perspectives of educational policy, family guidance, and social support systems.
