Results Before intervention, the parents of children had the highest content of protein in plant foods, which are the main nutrients in cereals, and the awareness rate was 62.08％ and 63.34％ respectively. About 74.05％ of the children need help when eating and 67.54％ of the children always skip breakfast. Generalized estimation equation analysis showed that after intervention, the awareness rate of various parents 'nutritional knowledge increased (P<0.05), and the increase rate of parents' awareness in the intervention group was greater than that of the control group (P<0.05) . After the intervention, the positive rate of various unhealthy eating habits among children decreased (P<0.05), and the positive rate of multiple unhealthy eating habits in the intervention group was greater than that of the control group (P<0.05) .
