You guys, I honestly thought it was impossible. One of my children, who shall remain nameless and whose identity will remain obscured by complete lies I will make up about him… or, er, her… seemed to be completely immune to learning to tie shoes. I mean, we tried EVERYTHING. We bribed, we cajoled, we begged, we showed videos – like five videos with weird methods and regular methods.
Nothing.
Tonight, this child did it. Watched the video one time, ONE TIME, then just did it.
I’m sharing this with all of you because I feel this secret special tying video needs to be seen by more of the parents who beat themselves up for buying the same exact pair of Velcro shoes four times in a row because their child seems incapable of learning to tie.
You can do it! Your child can do it!
Thanks, Ross Elementary PTA. We owe you.

Hello Joanna,
thank you for sharing your story. Indeed, a video demo can be so helpful to a child. I watched the video. I have never seen a simpler way to tie your shoes than this!
