Adhd Parenting: When Do Kids Learn to Tie Their Shoes?

A reader asks:

We’re having a terrible time teaching my daughter how to tie her shoes. She is six and has ADHD.

Respect Effect Mom answers:

Most kids will want to know how to do it by age 5. Children that show no interest in learning or have a lot of trouble learning it often have dyslexia or ADHD or both. (Children with ADHD are more likely to have dyslexia.)

My son has ADHD and I thought he would never learn. Finally I wrote a little song that went with the actions and we practiced together, me on my shoe and he on his, step by step.As he got each step right, I gave him a few cashews as reward. After about three concentrated attempts with this method, he got it.The secrets are these:

• He must practice on his own shoes while they are on.
• You sit beside him, not facing him.
• You make it a game with a fun little song. The song must describe the actions in a playful way.
• You give him one-on-one attention.
• And you reward each step with verbal praise and a treat.
• And you stop before he gets frustrated.
• And you must tell everyone you know when he is with you of his huge success. Social praise is important.

If now is a good time to get your child’s attitude and behavior under control, I invite you to use these parenting tips to get started.
