My son loves wearing sneakers. It is the easiest thing for him to wear and looks like the most comfortable for him. I always purchased sneakers for him with Velcro so that it will make his life easier and i guess easier for me. I now realized this will not always be the case and I have to teach him to tie his shoe laces. I can tell you now its not a very easy task. We have been working on it for two days and progress is very limited. I decided to post here how to teach your child to tie his shoe laces incase anyone else was having the same issue.

I just came across this today and will try it on him when he gets home from camp. I will keep you updated on this milestone
