Running head: CHILD RIGHTS AND ETHICAL DILEMMA Child Rights and Ethical DilemmaName of the studentName of the universityAuthor note
1CHILD RIGHTS AND ETHICAL DILEMMAMayah is a 2.5 year old child in my service centre who gets very tired and agitated afterlunch but her parents do not allow her to take a nap because then it becomes difficult for them toput her to sleep at night. An educator in my service centre lets Mayah sleep during the dayanalyzing the condition of the child and says that the child needs to sleep.
