The three ideals that are of great importance for me and my professional life are:
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.
I-1.9 When we have reasonable cause to suspect child abuse or neglect, we shall report it to the appropriate community agency and follow up to ensure that appropriate action has been taken. When appropriate, parents or guardians will be informed that the referral will be or has been made.
I-2.9 To participate in building support networks for families by providing them with opportunities to interact with program staff, other families, community resources, and professional services.
I think these ideals help support my goals and will help me become a strong advocate in the early childhood field.

I love the fact that I was not the only one who picked the ethic code on child abuse. It is really sad that this is something that we have to deal with and worry about on a daily basis.
Beth,
I'm glad you chose the ideal about building support networks. As a teacher so many just go to work everyday do their job in the classroom and go home. They do not have the kind of passion we do. Helping build support networks is a great way to show that you are committed to the well-being of young children and not just doing a job.
