Hi
Please help me with this question.

How does post structuralist/critical theorist's ideas elate to the ECA code of ethics in relation to Children/Family/Myself as a professional?

Thanks a lot.

straight from the EYLF Different theories about early childhood inform approaches to children’s learning and development. Early childhood educators draw upon a range of perspectives in their work which may include:
• developmental theories that focus on describing and understanding the processes of change in children’s learning and development over time
• socio-cultural theories that emphasise the central role that families and cultural groups play in children’s learning and the importance of respectful relationships and provide insight into social and cultural contexts of learning and development
• socio-behaviourist theories that focus on the role of experiences in shaping children’s behaviour
• critical theories that invite early childhood educators to challenge assumptions about curriculum, and consider how their decisions may affect children differently
• post-structuralist theories that offer insights into issues of power, equity and social justice in early childhood settings.

Just show how that relates and is demonstrated in the code of ethics

Thanks a lot
