The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Code of Ethical Conduct outlines areas of responsibility in professional relationships with children, families, colleagues, and the community. Integral to these areas of responsibility is the notion that they exist within the context of relationships. Whether the aspirational best practices described in the ideals or the requirements expressed in the principles of the code, the behaviors reside in relationships. These professional relationships can help strengthen families, support colleagues, enrich communities, create effective teachers, and build resilient children. This article discusses how the use of ethical behaviors, relationship strategies, and best practices overlap, ultimately helping children to be more resilient.
