We've been at this for like 6 weeks. Every single day I'd show him the bunny ears method and he'd just look confused. This morning something clicked and he did it three times in a row without help. He's so proud of himself and honestly I'm just as proud. No more velcro shoes in this house.
Six weeks of bunny ears, man. That's dedication. Those little moments when it finally clicks are the best, reminds you why we keep showing up every day.
That's awesome! We've had plenty of those 6-week grinds with my kids on different stuff. When it suddenly works, it's like they unlocked a whole new level.
6 weeks of patience man, respect. I know that had to feel like forever. The bunny ears method is clutch though, that's what finally clicked for my kid too. Now he ties them so tight I can barely get his shoes off lol.
That persistence paid off big time. I feel like shoe tying is one of those random milestones that feels impossible until suddenly it just clicks. Did he get frustrated a lot during those 6 weeks or was he pretty chill about the whole thing?

Every single day for 6 weeks is dedication. Most people would've given up way earlier. Your son's got patience too if he stuck with it that long before it stuck. That's honestly a bigger win than the actual shoe tying.
That's awesome. My oldest finally got it last year and I remember feeling like we'd crossed some invisible finish line. Now the middle one is working on it and I'm trying to remember if I have this much patience again.
