Hi, think about any religion that you follow, what your childhood experiences are, what parenting style you feel you may take. How do you feel when you talk, read or listen to others with different or opposing values eg. a vegan child attends the setting where you eat meat, a family enquires about places for their children and shares that they are Muslims where you have a Christian background, parents of a 4 year old asks if you believe their child should still be taking comfort from a dummy/pacifier/dodi. What would you do if you overheard a discriminative remark at any time, or someone included you in on a 'joke' that discriminates?
All these test what you feel strongly about, what motivates you to be you - your values and they stem from your upbringing, education, what you want to do within the childcare profession, what you'd like to change and how you intend to be part of it.

How values, beliefs can impact on practice
There are many ways in which our values and beliefs can impact on our professional practice. We may, for example, assume that a family has the same values and beliefs as us ans so not have important conversations about issues hat affect children's care and education. We may also be judgemental about families who do not share the same lifestyle, beliefs or values as us.
Hope this helps, are you expecting some teaching from your college? xx
