Have you tried to teach your child to tie their shoes but the effect was not satisfactory? This seemingly simple action is a skill that children must master.
Introduction to different closing methods
In the market, the closing methods of shoes are no longer limited to traditional shoelaces. Various designs such as Velcro, elastic bands, elastic buckles and rotating buckles provide convenience for children. Among them, Velcro is deeply loved by parents and children for its strong viscosity and convenient operation. Elastic bands use their natural elasticity to allow shoes to move freely with children’s feet. At the same time, elastic buckles use the principle of springs and can be fixed with a light press. This design is both beautiful and practical. Rotating buttons are adjusted by rotation. It is full of technology and easy for children to operate. However, although these closing methods are convenient and efficient, teaching children to tie shoelaces has irreplaceable value.
How to teach children to tie shoelaces
First, you can teach children through a formula: two good friends, shake hands when they meet. Make rabbit ears and drill into the hole from front to back. Pull the ears hard and turn them into butterflies flying. This is the most basic lacing method and is suitable for all types of shoes. First, cross the two shoelaces through the shoe holes and then straighten them separately. Then, pass one shoelace under the other shoelace and straighten it and repeat this process until the appropriate tightness is achieved. Finally, tie the two shoelaces into a bow. This method is simple and easy to learn and is a good choice for children to master shoelace lacing skills. In addition to traditional methods, parents can try some innovative lacing methods such as parallel lacing and double loop lacing. This can increase the fun and challenge of children’s learning process.
Tying to tie their shoes is a small step in children’s growth, but it is an important step for them to become independent.
