Practices that are worth remembering

The important role of family in promoting children's learning and development makes me pay more attention to the relevant resources. I think the practices from the article Code of ethics are worth remembering and it can guide us on the way of supporting children. Here below are the practices.


RESPONSIVE FAMILY CENTERED PRACTICES
Enhancement of Children’s and Families’ Quality of Lives
  1. We shall demonstrate our respect and concern for children, families, colleagues, and others with whom we work, honoring their beliefs, values, customs, languages, and culture.
  2. We shall recognize our responsibility to improve the developmental outcomes of children and to provide services and supports in a fair and equitable manner to all families and children.
  3. We shall recognize and respect the dignity, diversity, and autonomy of the families and children we serve.
  4. We shall advocate for equal access to high quality services and supports for all children and families to enhance their quality of lives.

  1. We both selected the same ethical ideals from the Division of Early Childcare, I really enjoyed your perspective of the importance of this principle in your blog you posted that it was "worth remembering". There are so many concepts and ideals that are in the field of early childcare and each one has it's importance but there a few that are simply just worth remembering. Thank you for highlighting it's importance.

  2. Thank you so much for bringing such enthusiasm and inspiration each week to our discussions. I enjoyed the shining sun and the message that it communicated. I am so grateful for the on-line learning community that made it possible to share experiences from another part of the world and to hear how education is impacting the lives of other professionals, children, and families. Each week, you have shared an insight that gave me an opportunity for reflection. I wish you the very best as you continue your professional goals and aspirations. I hope that we will have an opportunity to share insights through future classes.
