[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is helpful Thanks! My DS is 6 1/2.

We just need to get him laced shoes and clothes with snaps, and I am sure he will learn fine. Just laziness on my part.

I bet he could do everything if you pushed it. But I don’t think it is unusual that he doesn’t. Still in the range of normal. [/quote]

Agree.  Truth is kids are learning later these days because there is no need, we have velcro shoes and elastic pants.  I remember when I was in preschool we learned to tie on a practice cardboard shoe and practiced a lot.  They don't do that now.  I actually don't care when my kid learns.

Need leads to proficiency.  Just like if we were a culture that ate with chopsticks, your kid would know how to use them.  We don't, so nobody thinks it's weird that your 5 yo can't eat with chopsticks.  My relatives in Asia do though when my kids go to visit.  "Your 5 year old can't eat with chopsticks?!"  They think it's so strange.
