Teaching Little Ones to Tie their Shoes

Build a tee pee, Come inside,

Bring a friend. Close it tight so we can hide.

Over the mountain, And around we go.

Here’s my arrow, And here’s my bow!

Teaching little ones to tie their shoes is, to me, one of the hardest tasks a parent is required to do. The hardest part is the patience required by both the parent and the child. I have found that my children get terribly frustrated with themselves when beginning to learn to tie their shoes.

It's hard for everyone involved, but have no fear, this website is a real parenting gem. Ian's Shoelace Site is the shoe lacing and tying authority. He offers up much more than just tying shoes. He includes 17 differnt ways to tie shoes. My favorite is the good old fashioned Two Loop Shoelace Knot.
