I am very glad I pressed through this course! I would have never imagined that I would learn so much in so short of time! I am very appreciative of all the support from my friends, family, coworkers, and most of all WALDEN UNIVERSITY! I have accomplished so much and I'm looking forward to completing my program and seeing how far I will go! Much thanks to everyone!

Code of Ethics...
DEC CODE OF ETHICS
- · 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.
NAEYC
CODE OF ETHICAL CONDUCT
- · To be familiar with the knowledge base of early childhood care and education and to stay informed through continuing and training.
- · To appreciate the vulnerability of children and their dependence on adults.
The three ideals contained in the
NAEYC and DEC codes of ethics that I chose are meaningful to me because without
fulfilling these standards children lose out on the best chance of developing to
their full potential. We must stay current and up to date on our teachings and
information because the world is constantly evolving and we need to be able to
give our children the skills they need to operate and cope with what’s going on
in today’s society. These ideals play a significant role in my professional
life because working with children is what I am currently doing and I want to
give every child that I come in contact with a chance at a successful life. I
am able to use these standards and live by them when working with both children
and their families. I can also take these ideals and share them with my
coworkers and create a better work environment.

| Fact sheet: A summary of the rights under the Convention on the Rights of the Child |
"Children are citizens and social participants in their own right. This is a fundamental shift from the old adage 'children should be seen but not heard'. No longer are children to be thought of as the property of their parents, unwarranted of consideration until the attainment of adulthood. Children are human beings and entitled to the same degree of respect as adult human beings. ... This position of being people unto themselves, while also being dependent on others, is clearly recognised in the pre-eminent human rights instrument specific to children." That is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCROC). As the most widely adopted human rights document in history, ratified by 192 countries, UNCROC provides a powerful backdrop to the Care of Children Act. (Boshier, 2005, p. 7).

Joshua
Caillier- I know that we are supposed to be writing about people who has had an
impact on our childhood, but I feel that every day I am continuously growing .
Although I have known my husband since I was five yrs. old, I feel that he
plays a major role in my life. With him I have learned to show my emotions and
let go of my insecurities and allow people to see me for who I am not for what
I can do. He is truly my best friend and my anchor. I feel that without him, I
would not have pursued my goals in early childhood education. So this is why I feel
that my husband has had a huge impact in my life.
Ashley Venters-
Ashley is one of my little sisters. I added her to my childhood web because
growing up she used to be my partner in crime! Growing up and even now, we are
able to share things with each other and are able to lift each other up when we
are at our low points in life! I love her very much. We both encourage each
other throughout life and feed off of each other’s positivity.
Bobby Dunning- My father is partly responsible for bringing me into this world. He has influenced my life as a child by showing me that hard work gets you far in life and that you must start from the bottom and work your way up in life to actually appreciate the things you have. It is because of him, that I have come to cherish everything that I have and will never have the need to be greedy
Hazel Moore- My
grandmother is very special to me because when I look at her I see a person
that is giving and a person that is dedicated to making others happy. My
grandmother has helped me in many different ways. She has shown me the true
meaning of giving and loving and not expecting anything in return. Because of
her, I feel that I am perfect for working with children. I am able to give and
be satisfied with the result of them learning whatever I have taught them.
Sharon Antoine-
My mother is partly responsible for bringing me into this world. She has influenced
my life as a child by showing me that no matter what comes my way that I can
get through it as long as I stay focused and continue to trust in God. This
continues to impact my life, because with her instilling these values in me, I
stay focused and I am driven to be successful.
