The development of autonomy in five-year-old children in a rural institution in Puno, recognizing its importance for personal and social development from early childhood. The objective was to determine the level of autonomy as a result of family guidance. A quantitative descriptive approach was used, administering surveys to 16 parents to assess the children's security, confidence, and ability to perform daily tasks, make decisions, and demonstrate independence at home and in society. The results reveal that 53.3% of children present a high, unstable level of autonomy, occasionally performing activities on their own; 33.3% reach a stable level, performing their tasks independently; and 13.3% show a low, stable level, acting only when requested. It is concluded that children's autonomy depends both on the family environment and on the support and confidence that parents provide in the development of independent skills.
