As John Andrew Holmes wisely said,
"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting
centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

Learning to Tie Shoes!

 
New skills always take practice and patience. All children are ready at different times to learn how to tie their shoes. There are "tricks", songs, videos, etc. all available to help our little ones learn in their own way. The student below uses determination to figure it out! While they are learning such a complex small motor skill it is important for us to encourage, teach and have patience with them!
 For some it takes longer to grasp than others!
