Examining codes of ethics
NAEYC Code of Ethics
I-2.5—To respect the dignity and preferences of each family and to
make an effort to learn about its structure, culture, language, customs, and
beliefs.
I-2.6—To acknowledge families’ childrearing values and their right
to make decisions for their children.
I-2.7—To share information
about each child’s education and development with families and to help them
understand and appreciate the current knowledge base of the early childhood
profession.(NAEYC, 2005)
These three codes of ethics are very meaningful to me. It is vital
to respect families and their diversity. Families are the child’s first
teachers they are essential resources to you in teaching and caring for their child.
Respecting all families is part of being a professional. You may not agree with
all the family dynamics that you will encounter but being a professional is to
still respect them.

Brandie, all the ethics that you posted are very important ones. I completely agree with what you said about how a child's first teacher is their families. Also, it can be hard to understand some families but it would be unprofessional and wrong to not respect them just because you don't agree with them. Great post!
