Joey Lawrence, who was most recently seen on Dancing With the Stars, is not afraid to tell a few white lies when his daughter Charli acts up.

He told Spotlight to Nightlight about a recent incident that caused him to get creative with his parenting skills, Celebrity Baby Blog reports.

Apparently, 3-year-old Charli was demanding candy in the morning before she had even had her breakfast, and no matter how much Lawrence tried he could not convince his daughter to eat her yogurt.

"We were going on a trip with our friends, and I had to call them and say, ‘We can’t go to Hawaii because Charli won’t eat her yogurt," he explained, as quoted by the website.

As soon as the little girl heard the threat, she immediately grew more interested in her breakfast and seemed to forget entirely about candy, he said.

"By 8:30 in the morning you’re exhausted – and that is parenting," Lawrence added.

Charli’s full name is Charleston Lawrence and she was born on May 10, 2006.

Any father who has more than one child is undoubtedly familiar with the challenges of sibling rivalry.

Speaking on The Late Show with David Letterman, Jack Black described how his older son, Samuel Jason, has slowly gained interest in his little brother Thomas David – who is 13 months old.

"The first year is kind of a gelatinous period," Black said. "[At first,] Sam was like, ‘Ugh, I don’t want this thing around me’."

Now that Thomas has passed that crucial milestone and is turning from a baby into a toddler, Sam has begun interacting with his brother, Black said.

However, he revealed that these "interactions" sometimes consisting of Sam punching Thomas in the face or squeezing him too hard in a supposed hug.

Black also discussed his life goals, in which fatherhood and parenting skills play a strong role.

"I want to raise my boys and lead them into manhood, to be responsible, kind gentlemen," the actor said.

Black can currently be seen on screen in the movie Year One, a comedy co-starring Michael Cera.
