Examining Codes of Ethics
“To
acknowledge families’ childrearing values and their right to make decisions for
their children" (NAEYC, 2005).
Even though I
may not agree with how a parent chooses to raise their child, I have to respect
that they are the parent and they have the right to make decisions for that
child (assuming that abuse or neglect is not suspected).
“We shall demonstrate
in our behavior and language respect and appreciation for the unique value and
human potential of each child” (The Division of Early Childhood, 2000).
I believe that all
children deserve to be treated with respect.
For example, if a student is acting out I try to find out the reason
behind their behavior instead of getting frustrated with them.
“We shall demonstrate
our respect and concern for children, families, colleagues, with others whom we
work, honoring their beliefs, values, customs, languages, and culture” (The
Division of Early Childhood, 2000).
In my career, I have
worked with colleagues whose beliefs or methods were very different from my own
but I respected their right to their own beliefs or opinions. Furthermore, I realize that it is important to respect the beliefs and cultures of all children and their families because all people should be treated with respect.
