DD will not leave her shoelaces tied. We can triple not the laces and she will sit and work on those laces till she gets them untied and take her shoes and socks off. Does anyone have a solution for this? In the summer it wasn't as big of a deal, but I don't want her feet to get cold now that fall is here and winter is approaching. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!
Superglue on her socks? Lol....sorry, I'm a smarta$$. :blbl: Seriously, if you get this one figured out, let me know! Owen did the same thing. (But then he used to try to strip naked in the Wal Mart too.)
I use Velcro shoes, but it is no better, because they just un-strap the velcro and then take the shoes and socks off. So I am no help, sorry!
Sorry no help here. We switched from velcro to laces for the same reason. And so far double knots are working. But what about high top sneakers? I had a cute pair for my oldest DD when she was young even if she got them untied she had trouble geting them off. Good luck.
Still trying to figure this out. Alot of my DS shoes are velcro, atleast their easier to put on when they come off! LOL! Still trying to figure this out. Alot of my DS shoes are velcro, atleast their easier to put on when they come off! LOL!
Almost all my kids' shoes are velcro. I decided that if they could remove any type of shoes (even though shoelaces took a little longer), it was better to get shoes that were easier for me to put back on! The only place we really had a problem was in the car. I would frequently arrive somewhere and then have to put 2 pairs of shoes back on before I could get them out of the car. If she's doing it in your house, I would say let her. If her feet are uncomfortably cold, she won't do it.
We don't wear shoes in the house so it was only a problem when we went somewhere. I just put them back on in the car each and every time when we reached our destination until the phase passed. I did tell them that they were missing out on doing things while I was putting their shoes back on but at that age it was in one ear and out the other. Consider it excellent practice for fine motor skills.
