[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taught my NT kids around the start of kindergarten. Knowing how to tie in K brings serious street cred — lots of interaction and friends made over offering to tie someone’s shoe.

Like when your kid was learning to put on their socks and shoes, [b]budget more time to get ready for a week or two. Let them take their time and work through the frustration without swooping in to do it better and faster[/b].

If your NT kid is age 7+ and still doing Velcro, I do judge. And[b] so do your kid’s teachers and coaches. [/quote][/b]

So much of this. The reason most kids haven’t mastered this skill earlier is because of parents combined with shoe companies making so many velcro and no tie options. It’s not as though evolution stripped this generation of kids of the ability to conquer this skill between 4-7 for most.[/quote]

Ok. There are a million things that we all a society can't do as well as our predecessors because technology/new tools/obsolete fashion have made the original skill less important. Not totally irrelevant to modern living, but not a skill that kids need to master by a certain age in order to participate in regular society. I don't really get what the problem is. [/quote]
