Then its consequences in the western family are explained. Also the researcher made a comparison between the Iranian family in the past and modern era based on sociologists’ perspectives about Children Education. The results showed that the Iranian family experienced many changes resulting from globalization. Moreover, the researcher found out that in spite of some existing pessimistic perspectives, Iranian family is not focusing on a collapse but its functions in Children Education have been changed.
