Emotions, a field of reduced attention, are the subject of research carried out in six educational institutions in Bogotá and Cartagena based on information collected by completing a survey by 297 families. The research sought to identify the effects of confinement on the socio-emotional development of families of 6 educational institutions, observing the impact on their socio-emotional development. The problem posed is: What were the effects of confinement during the pandemic on the emotional development of families and its effects on student learning? The results show a predominance of positive emotions such as satisfaction, confidence, enjoyment and self-esteem. The negative ones were associated with fear, shame, threat, hopelessness and anxiety as a feeling of helplessness in the face of the crisis.
