Theoretical Framework

The best theory that could apply in understanding the assessment of the need for a guide by adults that handle preschoolers who are victims of trauma is the symbolic interaction theory. We see the approach focuses on interactions through social context by both teachers and learners and even amongst the learners themselves. This theory provides a platform through the behaviors of a preschooler’s examined both within the class setting and also the classroom and other areas. Because the adult handling these children with trauma will be doing this within a social context, the social bonds and networks that these preschoolers form with one another and the teacher and their environment as well are essential towards enabling them to navigate their challenges. Symbolic Interaction Theory thereby provides a basis through which this interaction is analyzed, and the relevance of a guide in assisting the teacher in handling the children is well supported. With the guide and the teacher informed, there can be a secure and safe social network there, the healing and learning process can be enhancing.
