-We let <math>x</math> denote how much juice we take from each of the first <math>3</math> children and give to the <math>4</math>th child.
-We can write the following equation: <math>1-x=\dfrac13+3x</math>, since each value represents how much juice each child (equally) has in the end. (Each of the first three children now have <math>1-x</math> juice, and hte fourth child has <math>3x</math> more juice on top of their initial <math>\dfrac13</math>.)
-Solving, we see that <math>x=\boxed{\textbf{(C) }\dfrac16}.</math>
