The question that this research paper intends to answer: what are the conditions of possibility that intervene in the construction of children’s social memory? Nowadays, the definition of children’s social memory derives from physical trauma that marks their body, individuality, personality, and subjectivities.

NiklasLuhmann’s theory of memory is taken as the basis to explore how feelings, emotions, thoughts, and communications can be outlined to distinguish the children’s memory. The research applies the theory of memory from the construction of frames of reference to intervene in the narratives of a specialist in the treatment of children who have experienced such events.

Thus, it proposes assembling and disassembling the memories of the children that emerge and become formalised. The reflections are a proposal that considers the theoretical support anchored to the question and the introduction of differences that unfold the stated problem. Finally, this paper examines the relevance between the problem and the theoretical selection taken to look into the children’s memories.

Keywords: Social memory, children, trauma, theory of memory, memories.
