How do I deal with constant requests for junk food?

Handling repeated junk food demands calls for patience, firm boundaries, and education. Parents need to limit the provision of unhealthy snacks at home, swapping them with healthy alternatives like fresh fruits, nuts, yoghurt, or homemade sweets. Gently explaining why junk food is unhealthy educates children without making them feel deprived. Treats should be an occasional delight, not an everyday staple. Stable meal and snack routines curb hunger-fuelled junk food cravings. Engaging children in shopping and cooking encourages healthy eating. Children are greatly influenced by the eating habits of parents; copying good nutrition is important. Gradually, children learn to prefer healthy foods and accept restrictions on unhealthy foods, protecting their health.
