Shoe Tying in a Jiffy

I ran across this website where you can teach your child to tie their shoes in 5 mins. I was skeptical, since after 5 MONTHS we are still trying. It's a little tricky.

5 minute shoe tying

I did figure it out myself. When I tried to teach it to my 5 year old, he said it was too hard and wanted to do it the old way. So after months and many battles of trying to get him to do it (the "typical" way), he did it all by himself. I guess I just had to show him a different way he didn't like to make him do it on his own. Go figure!
