Children are in a much learning phase, so guardians should be careful about what children are learning so they can avoid or validate certain attitudes/behavior. Within this aspect are the emotions that are fundamental in the development of the small ones. Given the present of the general objective of the research is to highlight the importance of children learning about emotions. The applied methodology had an exploratory and qualitative approach. The inclusion and exclusion criteria applied were studies published from 2016 that investigate the Brazilian reality on the theme addressed. In the end, 11 studies were used where 9 were indexed in the academic platform SciELO and 2 in google academics. In the results, we opted for studies published from 2016 in which they investigate the Brazilian reality on the proposed theme.  It is concluded that emotion in childhood is a complex process because children have difficulty in understanding and expressing what they are felt. When children do not express emotions, they propose to isolate themselves from other people and develop disorders such as anxiety, depression, antisocial behaviors, obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) and other behavioral disorders affecting their adult life. So as early as childhood children should learn to identify their emotional expressions.
