Haciendo un analisis de fondo, hmmm no creo que se trate de "comportamientos" en cambio yo lo traduciría como prácticas (practices), sin embargo me gustaría conocer su opinión al respecto.

El texto lo he traducido de la siguiente manera pero me gustaría leer sugerencias, criticas (constructivas) ja..ja.

Saludos y de antemano gracias

healthy hygiene and nutrition behaviors / practices


Explanation:
As an American, I prefer these two to 'habits', though 'habits' is certainly acceptable. I think 'behaviors' in particular is very customary in this field.

(reinforced) children's healthy eating and hygiene habits


Explanation:
If, as it appears, this is a list of accomplishments achieved, brevity would seem to be desirable. In that spirit, I offer this suggestion.

"Improved", as noted in the discussion comment, could be another viable verb choice. "Reinforced," though, is closer in meaning to the original "fortalecidos", and more contextually appropriate than "strengthened" (since we talk of reinforcing habits, not strengthening them). Which verb is preferable depends on whether the author is saying that children needed to be taught the healthier alternatives, or they already practiced them to some degree but just needed reinforcement.
