on main object i have script and this work fine, but when i attach same script to child its looks weird…

void Start()
{
    cameraPlayer = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player Camera");
}
void Update()
{        
    Vector3 directionToPlayer = cameraPlayer.transform.position - transform.position;
    Quaternion rotateAt = Quaternion.LookRotation(directionToPlayer);
    Vector3 rotation = rotateAt.eulerAngles;
    platformCanvasRotator.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, rotation.y, 0f);
}

}

Try the following;

void Update()
{        
    Vector3 directionToPlayer = cameraPlayer.transform.position - transform.position;
    directionToPlayer.y = 0f;
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation (directionToPlayer.normalized);
}
