Junk food cravings are a common challenge in many households, especially with children being constantly exposed to colourful advertisements, peer influence, and tempting snacks at every corner. From chips and chocolates to sugary drinks and fast food, kids are naturally drawn to foods that are high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats.

The good news is that parents do not need to completely ban these foods, instead, they can take practical steps to manage cravings in a healthy and balanced way.
