Thoughts on Ethics

 

I am happy to have reviewed the Code of Ethics. I have to admit that 30 years ago, when I first started day care, my ethics were not what they are now. I have come along way and have learned the hard way to slowly improve the way I deal with things in terms of ethical responsibilities and ethical dilemmas. I did struggle in the past due to my lack of knowledge and experience.  I am not perfect by any means, but I have a very good relationship with the children in my care and their families. I feel that I am following the code of ethics pretty well now. I do not think that I would achieve a healthy relationship with families and their children if I lacked ethics. I have had many incidents with clients over the years where I had to deal with ethical dilemmas. Reading the Code of Ethics brought back memories of certain incidents that did not turn out well. If I had to encounter a dilemma now, I am confident that I would be able to deal with it easier than I would’ve done years ago.
