Eating habits are characterized by the repetition of the individual's response to food. The family nucleus has a great responsibility for the formation of the child's eating behavior. The promotion of healthy eating, and the implementation of interventions on the consumption of fruits and vegetables, since the introduction of food, encourages the creation of healthy eating habits that can remain in the future. Therefore, the objective is to evaluate the influence of the eating habits of fathers, mothers and caregivers on the consumption of fruits and vegetables in children. Studies of food frequency and socioeconomic questionnaires were used as a database, taking into account the influence of parents in relation to the meals eaten by their children, and how the family environment can affect the behavior and eating habits of children. Those responsible, especially mothers, influence the eating habits of children from pregnancy. Food and nutrition education is extremely important for parents and caregivers to become aware of how important their example is in the formation of children's dietary characteristics, especially in the consumption of fruits and vegetables.
