How to add nav-active class in in navigation using jquery only one time
<p>Please help me to sort out this problem. I want to add <code>nav-active</code> class in li element only one time means if child element is selected then parent li should not have <code>nav-active</code> class. I am using following code but it is not working according to my requirements.
Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Here is my code:</p>

<p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
<div class="snippet-code">
<pre class="snippet-code-js lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>$('ul li').find('li').click(function(){
   var $this = $(this);
   $('li').removeClass('nav-active');
   $this.addClass('nav-active');
});</code></pre>
<pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;nav id="menu" class="nav-main" role="navigation"&gt;
 &lt;ul class="nav nav-main"&gt;
  &lt;li class="nav-parent item-b"&gt;
   &lt;a href="#"&gt;
    &lt;i class="icon icon-global" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
    &lt;span&gt;Global&lt;/span&gt;
   &lt;/a&gt;

   &lt;ul class="nav nav-children"&gt;
    &lt;li class="item-a"&gt;
     &lt;a href="#"&gt;
      &lt;span&gt;News&lt;/span&gt;
     &lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
     &lt;a href="#"&gt;
      &lt;span&gt;Highlights&lt;/span&gt;
     &lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
   &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li class="nav-parent"&gt;
   &lt;a href="#"&gt;
    &lt;i class="icon icon-document-512"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;My Documents&lt;/span&gt;
   &lt;/a&gt;
   &lt;ul class="nav nav-children" id="menu1"&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
     &lt;a href="#"&gt;
