Considering that the family represents the child's primary environment from birth until adolescence, the question arises as to what role it plays in the formation of children's habits. These habits also include dietary habits, which are increasingly being questioned by health organizations, health professionals, and parents themselves who want to know more about them. Modern times bring a lot of professional and non-professional literature that closely concerns nutrition and eating habits and provides the possibility of continuous education that can help in the proper formation of eating habits in everyday life. Eating habits are extremely important for the psychophysical state at any age, and especially in the children's age, when the child needs quality care and attention from the family for all segments of the child's growth and development. With the aim of determining the attitudes of parents related to the nutrition of their preschool children, a survey questionnaire was conducted, which is attached to the paper, in which 149 respondents were questioned. The questions in the survey related, among other things, to the daily eating habits of children. The survey found that it is the mother who has the main say in the formation of the respondents' eating habits.
