Learning to tie up the shoelace!

Hi besthope Awwh too cute! Yes it is quite challenging and some have a very hard time in learning how to tie the laces. I am glad you patiently taught her how to do it. She will never forget your guidance and remember you too remember the challenge, therefore, think about how happy this was because one day she too will sit and patiently teach hers and other children how to tie them. I remember my two where I did the bunny loop over and under, gosh sounds so cute and funny now but as parents this is what we do. Though it may seem like something small to small, actually it is the start for her to learn to patiently take her time and try, try again and she will be able to accomplish anything life brings at her.

Wow, 5 years old and ties her shoes, that is awesome..Here, it used to be that by 5 or 6, children were suppose to tie their shoes. But now with velcro, they don't push it as hard, so even if one was 7 or 8, they wouldn't get teased about it, probably because most kids can't..My son can, because I worked with him, I didn't want him to not know.

i wonder why i managed to tie my shoe laces without help, maybe its due to the fact that when ever i bought shoes, they are always already tied to "perfection" therefore not needing any learning to be done?

ahaha! I am also of the same kind. I do not to tie shoe lace. I never learnt it properly. But now that ur daughter has learnt ask her to practice it on holidays also twice. She will become comfortable. I learnt putting knot say in my 40/45 th year. I never use to wear shoes in school days. During college days my mami (auntie) use to help me. I use to avoid wearing shoes to Bank also till such time slip on shoes were introduced. have a good day. Now I know to some extent.

that is a tiny story but useful. She showed that she's a strong and independent girl. I guessed that you're in US or UK or somewhere like that because I heard many stories about independency in culture of UK or US. The youth can live independently at their early ages. That's great. We could succeed as long as we try

wow CONGRATULATIONS to her ^_^, at least she is trying her best to learn that sort of a thing nice to her, she has a determination to do things ^_~

Oh, she is doing well. She took action to master the shoe laces instead of pouting or hiding from it.

Good for her. My granddaughter had the same problem at first but then they helped her out too....she is in kindergarden and here they have to be able to tie before they can start school....
