Examining Codes of Ethics

DEC (Code of Ethics)
We shall demonstrate our respect and appreciate for all families’ beliefs, values, customs, languages, and culture relative to their nurturance and support of their children toward achieving meaningful and relevant priorities and outcomes families’ desire for themselves and their children.

This ethic code will be important to me because it is important to not only respect the children you work with but their families as well. Embracing their belief system, language, and customs will enhance children learning experiences and allow them to develop healthy.

NAEYC (Code of Ethical conduct)

I-2.9----To participate in building support networks for families by providing tem with opportunities to interact with program staff, other families, community resources, and professional services.

This ethic code is important to me because coming from a social work stand point; I know how important it is to network and get acquainted with community resources in order to assist children and their families more efficiently. Knowing what the community offers I would be able to pass on this information to children and their families.

I-1.3-----To recognize and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child.

I find that it is essential to understand and recognize children’s unique qualities and build off of them. As a parent, I would want my own children’s unique qualities to be encouraged; therefore I would want the same for someone else’s child. Allowing children to embrace their unique qualities enables them to become leaders instead of followers.
