The purpose of this study is to test the correct perceptions of parents on the influence of families on the formation and personality development of primary students in Vietnamese urban. This study uses a quantitative approach to data collection. The questionnaire was designed based on the Linkert scale that includes the awareness and evaluation of 136 parents of the students on the impact of family education on the personality of primary students in Vietnamese urban. The reliability of the scale was conducted on SPSS 20.0 software. The research results show that there are 5 contents and 5 family education methods that are commonly used by parents of students in urban areas of Vietnam where economic and social conditions are common. The parenting and educational level of the parents is relatively favorable. Most parents are aware of the importance of family education to the personality of primary students. The attention of parents plays an important role in the child’s personal development at the beginning of elementary school. With a traditional education background based on Confucian thought, Vietnamese families always give a lot of attention to their children. However, the fact shows that, in Vietnamese urban, the overdone care of parents negatively affects the personal development of children. The paper contributes to the literature on the role of family education in Vietnamese urban in the development of elementary school student character. In addition, the study also provides evidence to adjust the views of Vietnamese parents on the contents and methods of developing the personality of children, which is meant for reference for families, educators and researchers in similar contexts.
