Diet education can expand children’s life experience, cultivate good living habits, and develop their character, contributing to the construction of a healthy China. Developing diet education helps children improve their health awareness and enables them to form healthy eating behaviors and lifestyles, laying the foundation for their healthy growth and lifelong development. It is not just about disseminating nutrition knowledge but also involves the integration of health education, labor education, and family education through practical experiences. This study analyzes the importance of promoting diet education for children and proposes four promotion strategies that draw on families, schools, relevant departments, and social groups, as well as pilot projects. The application of these strategies will help enhance the effectiveness of diet education and enable children to form healthy eating habits and develop the basic ability to maintain their health.
