How can I make shoe tying easier for my child?
End Shoe-Tying Hassles
To put an end to constantly tying your young child's shoes, try lacing their shoes with quarter-inch elastic instead of shoelaces. Your child will be able to simply pull on the shoes without tying and untying by stretching the elastic, and the elastic can be tied into a permanent bow. It will also increase your child's independence and make the rush out the door go a little bit smoother.
