[quote=Anonymous] DS learned at that age, and it was painful. I did not buy him lace-up school shoes at first, because he would just have tripped over the untied laces. Here's the breakdown: 1. Learn to tie with the shoe book, to get the general concept and work the fingers. Not 100% transferable to actually tying one's laces! 2. Practicing with real shoes on his own feet. Difficult part! We did hand-over-hand for a long time, so that I could guide his fingers to the right places. DS has no spatial understanding, so learning was tactile and my hands on his hands were essential. 3. Tying on his own. It is laborious and slow. Even now after one year, the knot is always loose or undone by the end of the school day. [/quote]
