Ethical Responsibilities to Children:- 1-1.5 To create and maintain safe and healthy settings that foster children's social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development and that respect their dignity and their contributions.
Its significance to my professional life:- Children are unique in their own way, they need to feel a sense of belonging therefore, in creating an atmosphere that is conducive towards learning is a key element. Children need to be exposed to environments where they are capable of exploring and experimenting things on their own. This in turns brings about a sense of independence wherein they are able to experiment for themselves. This I strongly believe contributes to the holistic development of them in a positive way.
Ethical Responsibilities to Families:- 1-2.2 To develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families we serve.
Its significance to my professional life:- As the parable states, " no man is an island and no man stands alone" this thought elevates me to say that within the field that I work each day team work is essential and key towards the success towards our children. In working collaboratively with families I am better able to function as a professional because I am able to share my views to them and they are capable of giving me feedbacks that I can use to plan effectively towards children's growth and development. Families are also capable of being involved in the teaching and learning process of their children's education. This I deem that positive and close relationships would be made wherein we all trust each other.

Its significance to my professional life:- When working with children, I strongly believe that one should be fair in all that is done. In order for me to gain trust from both my children and families that I work with I have to be loyal and just. I have demonstrate to them about what are my aims and visions. I have to not just talk but put my talking into actions. I also have to show equality amongst all so that everyone feels love and cared for.
Hello Latoya,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, in that we should be aware of the environments we create for the children we care for. These is important for the healthy well being of children's psychosocial, phsycal and cognitive development. And as long as they are under our care we should provide that safe haven for the.
Hi Latoya,
ReplyDeleteI believe that a safe and nurturing enviroment is the key to quality childcare. At all times should me ensure the safety and health of children in our care but we must also make surethey are learning. We have to see the individuality in all of the children and make sure that they get the type of teaching that they need specifically. A good teacher knows that each child is unique and treats thwm accordingly.
HI Latoya!
ReplyDeleteI loved the quote "no man is an island and no man stands alone." This is so true for our field, isn't it? In any school, daycare, or early childhood center, no one works alone. We all must rely on each other for ideas, support, and assistance as we guide young children.
I also agree with you in saying that children need to be in an environment in which they can explore and experiment on their own. This is how they get creative and put together big ideas! I love providing many sensory activities as well. Even adults enjoy that! (playdough, sand, etc.!)
Thanks Latoya!
Hello Latoya
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said about children are unique in their own way, they need to feel a sense of belonging therefore, in creating an atmosphere that is conducive towards learning is a key element. Children need to be exposed to environments where they are capable of exploring and experimenting things on their own. When children get to be creative they do enjoy their environment better. Teachers that treat children as individuals are very well liked and respected. Nice post!
