No joke, I've been trying to teach him for like 6 months and today he just did it. Bunny ears method finally clicked. I may have gotten a little emotional watching him do it three more times in a row just to prove he could. These little wins hit different man.
Dude, getting emotional about shoe tying is totally valid. These milestones hit different when you've been grinding toward them. Well done on sticking with it.
Man, the bunny ears method is a game changer. I'm still waiting for this moment with my daughter so hearing this gives me hope. Congrats to your son!
That's huge! Six months of patience paying off is such a win. Your kid's gonna remember that moment, and honestly so will you. Enjoy the emotional victory.
That's huge! These little wins are what it's all about. I remember when my kids finally got their shoes tied and I felt like I'd just won the dad lottery.
Congrats man. I'm still working on this with my 5 year old so this gives me hope. Did you do anything different or did he just suddenly get it one day?
That's awesome! Six months is a long time to work on something with a kid. I remember when my youngest finally got it and I was probably more excited than he was. Now he won't let me help and gets mad if I try to double-knot them. Can't win haha.
Six months is not that long honestly. My oldest didn't get it till almost 7. The bunny ears method is the way to go, so much easier than trying to explain the loop and pull thing.
That's awesome! Six months of work finally paid off. Once they get it they really got it. My oldest picked up tying shoes and suddenly started doing it everywhere. Wait until he realizes he can do it in his sleep.
Yesss! The bunny ears method finally works right. I spent so much time with mine trying to teach the regular way and it just clicked one day with the loop method. These little wins are the best.
That's a real dad win right there. I remember when my daughter finally got it. You don't realize how much of a game changer it is until they stop asking you to tie their shoes every five seconds.

The bunny ears method works great. My guy refused to learn the regular way for like forever and then one day just decided he was going to do it. That breakthrough feeling is incredible. You should celebrate that with him.
Major W right here. That's one of those little wins that feels huge. Next thing you know he'll be buttoning his own shirt and tying a full knot. These little milestones add up.
