Examining Codes of Ethics! 3 meaningful Ideals in the NAEYC & DEC!

* I-1.12—To work with families to provide a safe and smooth transition as children and families move from one program to the next.

-This ideal is meaningful to my professional life because as leaders and advocates for the childhood community it is important to make all children and families feel comfortable by providing the necessary support that will aid in healthy and progressive cognitive, social and emotional development. We must provide children with necessary resources and knowledge that will help them progress. 

* I-1.9—To advocate for and ensure that all children, including those with special needs, have access to the support services needed to be successful.

This ideal is meaningful to my professional life because as an advocate, role model and leader for children it is important to ensure that all children have access to support and aid services in order for them develop socially, cognitively, and physically regardless of their race, socioeconomic status, or disability. 

* I-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. 

Safe and healthy learning environments are conducive to a child's social, emotional, cognitive and physical development because they are normally related to the curriculum which plays a fundamentally important role in the child's growth. This ideal is meaningful to my professional life because I know how important the learning environment is for children's developement. We have to make sure objects are not harmful and that they are appropriate for learning and development.
