NAEYC…..
I-1.3—To recognize
and respect the unique qualities, abilities, and potential of each child. If we
come into a child care center with this in focus we will be able to help
children develop appropriately. Children
are unique and they all learn at different levels.
I-1.4—To appreciate the vulnerability of children and their
dependence on adults. Children are very vulnerable so we must be careful what
we do as adults as we shape the lives of children. Taking careful notice of their vulnerability
will keep us in line.
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. Environment is so important to children’s
learning. If the environment is
conducive to learning for children more creativity will happen the classroom
setting.
DEC…..
We shall demonstrate the highest standards of
personal integrity, truthfulness, and honesty in all our professional
activities in order to inspire the trust and confidence of the children and
families and of those with whom we work.
This is vitally important to me it all speaks to have respect for
oneself in turn it will cause families to gain trust. Once trust is gained from families it becomes
easier to help the children and family.
Everything that I listed have some way that children are being helped and love. This relates to my everyday life because this is what I do on a daily basis.
Latanya,
ReplyDeleteI agree with your choice of the importance of creating an environment conducive to learning. It also needs to feel comfortable. Sometimes the classroom is more of a home and safe haven for certain children. Working closely with the children and families to gain their trust is also important to collaborate together.

I agree with you about the vulnerability of children. You are right when you say "Taking careful notice of their vulnerability will keep us in line". Sometimes life becomes stressful and although we may want to snap at a particular child, we have to keep in mind their vulnerability and keep our heads cool. What we do and how we do it is so important to the children we serve. They watch and learn from us constantly.
