Parents with young children have enough to worry about, but once their toddler develops a sweet tooth, they then have to deal with an almost quite hunger for treats.

Japanese Twitter user and parent Gohan (@tl1500) recently thought of a simple but clever way to combat that. Gohan recently shared their tactic for dealing with a 2-year-old child that is hooked on apple juice and searches for it in the refrigerator on his own.

Gohan posted the fool (well, 2-year-old) proof device with the caption "If my 2-year-old son found out their was a juice carton in the fridge, he'd ask for seconds for eternity..."

Apparently, Gohan's young son doesn't have quite the eye for milk, so by hollowing out a carton of it and hiding his coveted apple juice in it, he's been able to create a barrier that counters his son's apple juice sensor.

Many on Twitter praised the simple but effective parenting lifehack and say they want to try it themselves. Although others have pointed out the plan may go wrong if the child ever decides to pour milk by himself, or worse yet, an adult forgets!
