Abstract:Family is the first school for children, and family labor education plays an important role in developing children's correct labor notion and forming their good labor habits. Sukhomlinski, a famous former Soviet Union educator, made a comprehensive exposition of the importance, principles, guidelines and systems of labor education. Based on the new era, and with regard to problems in family labor education, Sukhomlinski's labor education thought remains a valuable resource for us to practice good family labor education.
