Monitoring the state of nutrition of children and their eating habits is very important both for the proper growth and development of the child and for the assessment and prevention of health risks in later life. The state of nutrition and eating habits are closely related throughout life, but this connection is most pronounced in the period of growth and development of the child, and that is why it is very important to know what, how much, why, how and in what way the diet of the child should be carried out at that age. The aim of this study was to assess the state of nutrition of preschool children from 2 to 7 years of age, to determine whether there is a difference in age and sex in the degree of nutrition, and to analyze the eating habits of children according to nutritional standards and analyze them by age. For the purposes of this survey, a survey questionnaire was conducted through the Google Form, which included 89 parents of children aged 2 to 7 years, of which 56.18 % of boys were 43.82 % of girls. The results showed that 66% of children have normal nutrition, 12% obese, 6% overweight and 16% malnourished. By analyzing the results by age, the highest percentage of normally nourished children is between the ages of 4 and 5, but also the highest percentage of obesity, while the highest percentage of malnutrition is in the younger age group of 2 and 3 years. Analysis of the results by gender showed a higher percentage of obesity in boys, and girls were more malnourished. This paper analyzes the intake of the main groups of foods , their frequency and representation by age and noted its irregularities and inadequacies. By analyzing eating habits, we learn that a large percentage of children (52%) consume sweets and snacks every day as do 55% of parents who have the same habit of consuming snacks in front of the TV. Eating habits are taught and adopted, and parents are the first and most important teachers of their child.
