On January 1, 2022, the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Promotion of Family Education began to be officially implemented, which means that family education has risen from "family affairs" to "state affairs", and parents have opened the era of "bringing babies according to law".
What it means to bring a baby according to the law
For a long time, there have been many problems in the education of children in China, one is the negligence of children. The second is to violate the legitimate rights and interests of children, for example, one of the divorced parents is not allowed to visit the child; the child is not allowed to go to school; the child is deliberately delayed when he is sick; and the child stays up late to study. The third is to beat and abuse children, such as corporal punishment of children, as well as psychological abuse such as laughing at a certain shortcoming of children and deliberately degrading children's self-esteem for a long time. Fourth, when children have malicious behavior that violates the rights of others, such as gangs, bullying, sexual harassment and other issues.
Family education has finally been put on the legal stage, in fact, it is not so much a law as a guidance program, there is no fine or detention and other words, mainly to promote.
The current education environment makes writers somewhat anxious, such as various inner volumes, chicken babies, most preschool children have been subjected to various learning pressures, resulting in a sharp decline in the birth rate, the understanding and meaning of family education seems to be a little off, which has formed a social phenomenon, in the end is telling everyone how to be a qualified parent. In fact, in family education, we should pay more attention to the physical and mental health of children, let children grow up healthy and happy, and have a good parent-child and communication relationship is priceless, I hope that family education can return to the truth in the future!
Some people one-sidedly believe that attaching importance to family education = let parents stop working: in fact, this is the biggest misunderstanding, whether education and whether there is time education are two issues, and this law is also introduced to allow some parents who have no time as an excuse to take a good look at scientific parenting methods.
In view of the promotion methods of social issues, the Promotion Law has specific guidance measures for children such as "left-behind children" and "single-parent families", which is also an extension of the Law on the Protection of Minors.
What is the relationship between the "double reduction" policy and the "Family Education Promotion Law": "Double reduction" is a policy requirement at a specific time, and the "Promotion Law" is a long-term borrowing force, and the common goal of both is to let minors grow up healthily and let parents educate themselves.
What should I do if I encounter "unqualified" parents and parents do not fulfill their parenting responsibilities?
Family education legislation is not to punish parents, for parents who refuse to fulfill their family education responsibilities, it is more to correct deviations and help parents better carry out family education. Two examples illustrate: First, in the country's first family education guidance workstation for juveniles involved in litigation in Xuyong County, Luzhou, the two parties caused their 13-year-old daughter to be bored with school because of the divorce dispute, and the parents were in a laissez-faire state, and the teacher repeatedly visited her to persuade her to return to school invalid. As a result, the undertaker issued a "family education guidance order" to the couple and assigned two family education instructors to guide them. Second, on October 21, 2021, in Qingjiangpu District, Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, plaintiffs Zhou and Zhao divorced due to emotional discord, and the two parties decided to send their newborn daughter to be raised by others. Later, a friend introduced that the defendant Zhu and his wife brought the baby girl back to be raised from Zhao. Afterwards, the relationship between the plaintiff and the plaintiff eased somewhat, regretted the adoption of the young daughter, and repeatedly negotiated with the defendant to return the child, but the defendant did not agree. After the two parties sued the court, after mediation, the defendant agreed to send the child back to the plaintiff, and the plaintiff gave certain financial compensation. Both cases are family education promotion guidance, but they are still very mild, not for the purpose of punishment.
Through healthy family education, it can effectively promote the healthy growth of children and adolescents, and play a guiding role in arousing the public's awareness of children's rights, family education, guardian responsibility and legal awareness.
Of course, the implementation of a new law must be operated for a period of time to know the specific effect, whether it has a promoting effect on family education, it also depends on whether the relevant supporting facilities of social schools are in place, especially whether psychological counseling and family education guidance are really useful.
