Abstract: The traditional Chinese theory of the Five Elements, encompassing Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, offers profound insights into various aspects of life, including family education. This paper explores how the principles of generation and restraint inherent in the Five Elements can be applied to family education to promote balanced and harmonious development of children. By aligning educational practices with these ancient philosophical concepts, parents and educators can foster an environment that nurtures children's physical, emotional, and intellectual growth. The study delves into practical applications, such as balancing discipline and encouragement (restraint and generation), and cultivating a holistic approach to learning and personal development. The findings suggest that integrating the Five Elements theory into family education not only enhances the overall well-being of children but also strengthens family bonds, creating a supportive and nurturing home environment.
Keywords: family education, traditional culture, effectiveness.
