Accompany with the faster process of industrialisation and urbanization and the large demand of labour resources in the market, more and more migrant workers enter the city by family style. The special position of the migrant wokers, presents its family education problem in front of us.By means of the method of paper questionnaire and informal discussion and the main theory tool, the reproduction theories by a French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, I describe and analyze the problems of the family education in the migrant children family, to find the deeper reasons and then provide suggestions to the researchers who are willing to find the suitable instruction methods. to the migrant children families. The reproduction theories show that the family as the basic unit in the social structure is the most hidden place in social reproduction. The children might inherit the knowledge, skill and self-cultivation of their parents by transparent or invisible way.This thesis firstly describes the economic, social and cultural capital of the migrant children family, aiming to make the family's social room known (which is determined by the resources) which determines the parents' congnization style and the cultural resources that are transported from the other capital.Secondly, the thesis describes the migrant children's family education situation from the education ideas, the education methods and the relationships between the parents and the children. Therefore I summarize the problems that exist in themigrant children families: The total amount of the family education in themigrantchildren family is not enough, the education opinions have been improved to some extent while the education methods fall behind the ages; the family is lackof cultural atmosphere; the relationship between the parents and the children is not very good.Based on it, I find the reasons from the angle of the economical capital and time investment, the cultural resources the family can dominate, the old habitus, the school and communist resources the families can use, etc.. Meanwhile, the cultural difference between the city and the country or between the parents and the children also play an important role in the family education which enlarges the difficulty of the family education.At last the thesis reaches a conclusion: The condition of the family education of migrant children family is in general not so good. The improvement of the cultural capability of the parents and the change of the old habitus has great significance to the family education of the migrant children. We should try to add the cultural capital, help the migrant worker family members to melt into the city life to change their old habitus, dig the potential motal value such as diligence, thus we can improve the current situation of the migrant children' family education.
