It was stated that children gain eating habits in the preschool period.

Providing information on the subject, Private İmperial Hospital Nutrition and Diet Specialist Ayca Yılmaz stated that the preschool period is the period when eating habits are acquired and said, "In this period, children can eat correctly and balancedly throughout their lives by gaining good eating habits. During this period, food preferences depend on the food preferences of their families." Stating that children's good eating habits minimize health problems that may be encountered in the future and ensure that their growth and development progress at the desired level, Yılmaz said, "The more adequate and balanced the child eats and makes this a habit, the fewer health problems they will encounter. The family is the most effective environment in the development of the child's eating habits. The first learning in children is in the form of imitating the individuals around them. Parents are an ideal model. While children develop a desire for the foods their parents like, they may also develop a reaction to the foods they do not eat. The preschool period is the period when eating habits are acquired. In this period, children can eat correctly and balancedly throughout their lives by gaining good eating habits.
