I Can Tie My Own Shoe

Definitely taught my son how to tie his shoes!

Got it for a Little girl in my class! She loves it

Great book! Son has been struggling to tie shoes and this book taught him in literally five mins!

I bought this book out of desperation, lol. I tried teaching my 5-yr-old son to tie his laces and he had no interest or patience. Just doing the first step of shoe-tying is HARD for littles. Whenever I first showed him the book, he still didn't care. But then I told him that we were going to learn one step Per WEEK, so all he had to do was one step for a week. And I combined it with a short morning homework time when he reads his school reading book to me as I make his breakfast. So, it was like an assignment.So, the first day, we read the book up to the first step and we tried the first step. It was still hard, but having the book to look at (and tie the shoe in) made him stick with it a bit longer. And he got it! And then I told him that was it for the day. The next day, we started with the first step and he got it right away. And he WANTED to do the next step. At that point I showed him that there are two ways to tie your shoes by showing him the book pages and just talking. He picked one he wanted to try and voila - he tied the shoe by himself that day. We were both so proud and it gave him a huge confidence boost - not just in tying shoes but in accomplishing something difficult. Now if only we had some shoes for him with laces... ;)Needless to say, I highly recommend this book!

My child is learning quickly how to tie her shoes and is now teaching her sister!

I thought this book would be great to teach my 5 year old how to tie his shoes but it might be easier to just do it without the help of the book. The laces weren’t long enough to his normal shoe laces.

My ten year old nephew has severe ADHD, and a slight learning disability, and has struggled for YEARS to learn how to tie his shoes. We've tried showing him, tried telling him, tried helping him learn over and over and over again, and all that had resulted was tears and crying in frustration, and that was just from me! He'd get discouraged and just give up. After nearly giving up and having tried everything, I purchased this book for him. And the first time he opened the book and practiced, he was able to finally tie his shoes on his own! Now there was crying and tears of joy.My little man has never been more proud, and we couldn't be prouder of him, in his life. It was such a joy to just watch that "click" when he finally understood how to get the loops to work so his laces would stay put. He no longer has to look for an adult to help him get his shoes on. It's no longer "Can you tie my shoes?" and instead it's "Look! I tied my shoes!"We plan on giving the book to his little brother when it time to teach him how to tie his shoes.

My daughter learned how to tie her shoes with this book in 1 week.

I had trying to teach my daughter how to tie her laces for over a year and just wasn’t sinking in. I got the book and within 10 mins she could do it. Highly recommended

our 61/2 had it about 2wks before she really focused on,then a couple of days to perfect it. she mastered it after putting her foot on book > never looked back,she ties our shoes too now

Very simple and easy to use, my son managed to competently tie a not within about 15 mins of getting to grips with it. For younger users, would be helpful to have an adult with them to guide through the steps.

Easy to understand
