Roles of Early Childhood Education Trainers, Teachers and Parents in Guidance and
Counseling
Introduction
The role of trainers, teachers and parents in guidance and counseling is to develop in children the
following qualities:
a) A sense of honor and self control and to boost their self esteem
...

c) Truthfulness and honesty
...

For this reason, each of the stakeholders has to take seriously their respective roles in order to
impart desirable qualities to the young children
...
The aim is to
impart to the teacher trainee skills and knowledge on how to:
a) Care for and guide the young children in their academic work, play, interactions with other
children and in other daily activities
...

c) Counsel children with behavioral problems
...

The trainers should also train the ECDE teacher trainees on how to identify children with
behavioural problems, those who are troubled and those who are troublesome
...
They make life miserable for themselves and others around them
...
They habitually tell lies and steal
...

c) Often crying and complaining a lot
...

e) Lacking decision-making ability and fears trying out new things even when help is
offered
...

g) Is usually afraid to ask or answer questions
...

It is therefore important for ECDE trainers to help the teacher trainees to be able to identify, teach
and counsel such children so that these children can cope and control their frustrations
...
This knowledge should be imparted to the teacher trainees,
should then be able to counsel children who show deviant behaviour
...
It is important for the trainers to help the
teacher trainees find out how children interact with others and with the environment
...

Collecting relevant data
The ECDE trainer should guide the trainees on how to collect the relevant data regarding the
children who need counselling
...
Most of the children with problems are identified by their parents, guardians, caregivers
or teachers in school
...
Their trainers should emphasize to the teachers that wrong
information about a child deviant behaviour can lead to developing the deviant behaviour the
counsellor is trying to address
...
This is because the trainees, on qualifying as teachers, may not be
able to handle all cases of counselling
...
The teacher will therefore be able
to act as a link between the professional counsellor and the parents of the child
...
It instead reflects good judgment and
professionalism of any teacher
...
Situations that would require referrals include:
a) Cases that involve legal implications
b) medical attention
c) when a child has severe emotional disturbance
d) children with clinical depression
e) cases that need situations of extremely aggressive behaviour
f) when a child has been physical abused
g) cases of attempted suicide
h) situations that involve substance abuse
i) When a child has been sexually abused
...


For this reason, they should seriously consider the following roles that are expected of them
...
They are responsible for developing guidance and counselling programs that go hand-in-hand
with the curriculum to cater to children's needs
...

c) Develop decision-making techniques and competences,

...
He/she should
therefore be able to:
a) Relay any information about children to other teachers and parents in a professional
manner

Role of parents
Parents should endeavor to work together with pre-school teachers to ensure that children
whosebehaviours are maladaptive are counselled and helped early to prevent the behaviour getting
out of hand
...

This role includes:
a) Identifying those of their children with maladaptive behaviour, or any other socially
unacceptable behaviour, and informing the teachers
...

c) Working with teachers to ensure that their problematic children are counselled and helped
early to avoid the situation getting out of hand in future
...

Summary
 Parents and teachers should work together to ensure that children with maladaptive, deviant
or socially unacceptable behaviour are counselled and helped early to avoid more serious
cases in future
