Sometimes you hear complaints from parents that their child does not want to tie his own shoe laces.
Demanding mothers and fathers see the reason in the child’s laziness and unwillingness to study.
In reality, in the vast majority of cases it turns out that the problem is not with the child, but with the adults themselves, who begin to “drill” the child long before he becomes capable of mastering this skill.
Sometimes parents lose sight of the fact that nature has given everything its own time.
No one argues: every child is individual: some develop faster, and some - slower. Nevertheless, most children acquire the skill of tying shoelaces by the age of 4-6.
Of course, there are exceptions to this rule: many girls can cope with the new “skill” at 3-3.5 years old, while boys lag slightly behind.
Most psychologists agree that girls should learn to tie their own shoelaces by age four, and boys by age five.
In any case, it will be more convenient for both children and parents if the child goes to school already knowing how to lace his shoes.
