NAEYC’s Code of Ethical Conduct says, “Above all, we shall not harm children. We shall
not participate in practices that are emotionally damaging, physically harmful, disrespectful, degrading,
dangerous, exploitative, or intimidating to children.”

What does this have to do with nap time in child care settings? A whole lot, according to host Heather Bernt-Santy and her guests Kisa Marx, Tiffany, Pearsall, Lizz Nolasco and Carol Garboden Murray.
