How do you teach a little kid to tie their shoes. I have been trying but nothing seems to work.?

Answers:
1. Wait until your child is ready. Most children develop the dexterity needed to tie shoelaces between the ages of 4 and 6. Girls are often ready to learn slightly earlier than boys.

2. Make sure your child knows right from left before you try to teach him how to tie his shoes.

3. Choose one method of lace tying, and teach it consistently. Make sure that everyone who may be trying to help your child learn this skill is offering the same method. Otherwise, he may get confused.

4. Make up a game or poem to help your child remember the necessary steps.

5. Make sure that you and your child are side by side rather than opposite each other when you demonstrate. That way he'll be able to copy your movements rather than mirror them.

6. Give your child lots of praise when he gets it right.

They will eventually learn, they don't put their mind into it. Try making a fun activity to teach them to tie their shoes, kids learn best at having fun.

Buy him boots

Case resolve Well if it's a little boy, then get him pink shoes with straps or velco. He'll either be teased into tieing his shoes or become gay.
