The family environment of each student, their learning environments, and emotional self-regulation practices were analyzed during the COVID-19 outbreak new reality. Because the research is within the positivist paradigm and the quantitative approach, the information collected was analyzed through statistical data. It determined that the analysis of patterns in the behavior of the early childhood student, as well as establishing some causes or crises, such as changes in eating habits, sleep routines, irritability, and anxiety, among others.
