Junk food has a significant impact on eating habits, forcing many individuals to eat pricey, high-calorie fast food. Junk food has high amounts of cholesterol, salt and is frequently deficient in fiber, which may lead to long-term detrimental effects such as hypertension, diabetes, constipation and teeth disease. Children are more prone to the adverse consequences of bad eating habits and an imbalanced diet can lead to delayed physical, cognitive and emotional development. Thus, the aim of the study is to assess the effect of planned teaching regarding harmful effects of junk food among parents. A quantitative pre experimental one group pre-test post-test design was used. Samples were selected by Non-probability convenience sampling technique. Total 60 parents were selected. The result revealed that 21.67% had high knowledge in pre-test and there is 62.33% increment of high knowledge among parents in post-test. Significant association was found between demographic variable (Child's age, religion, types of family, monthly income, number of children in family) and the knowledge level. Therefore the study concluded that the parents have basic knowledge regarding harmful effects of junk food in children.
