Abstract: Children’s cognitive abilities are of great significance to their future development, and family is the most important environmental factor in children’s growth. This article analyzes the impact of family resources on children’s cognitive abilities based on the data from CFPS2016. The empirical results show that family economic resources have no significant impact on children’s cognitive abilities. On the contrary, family non-economic resources have significant effects on children’s cognitive abilities, especially parents’ cognitive abilities, academic expectations and family environment. Moreover, under the premise of controlling the family's non-economic resources, education expenditure has a certain effect on improving the cognitive ability of lower grade students. Based on the conclusions, this article puts forward the following recommendations: First, parents should encourage children to study knowledge and correct life attitudes; second, parents need to increase communication with their children; finally, efforts should be made to reduce the education gap between urban and rural areas and pay more attention to the physical and mental health of girls.
