The aim of thisThis study isaims to evaluate the nutritional attitudes and behaviorsbehaviours of 6-8 years -year-old children. A total of 347 students, 183 boys and 164 girls, aged 6-8, participated in the study.

The children's Nutrition Attitude Scale mean score was 13.83±2.03, and their Nutrition Behavior Scale score was 2.57±4.53. A weak correlation was found between the children's nutritional attitude scores and their eating behaviorbehaviour scores (r=0.212, p<0.001). As a result of the study, it was seen that the healthy eating habits of the children participating in the study were at a moderate level. The results of this study show the need for interventions for children to have and maintain positive nutritional attitudes and behaviorsbehaviours.
