If your kids have ever struggled with tying their shoes, allow us introduce you to their new hero.

Colton Lillard, a 5-year-old with a loose tooth, has the most genius shoe-tying hack ever.

He demonstrates the trick in a video his mom posted to Facebook, which has been viewed over seven million times.

Thousands of people have posted in the comments section of the video, thanking Colton for the helpful tip. But the little shoe-tying ninja doesn't want to take all the glory.

"I learned that from my friend, River," he says, giving credit where it's due. Thanks, River!

Forget the silly rhymes about bunny ears, and just show your kids Colton's demonstration. They'll be laced up in no time.
