Your daughter is a kid so your best bet is to explain it on her level. Use a cute little poem and she will have fun with it. \n\nHave her make two loops and teach her this poem.\nThe bunny goes around the tree, and into the burrow, and pull tight. \n\nShe is just a kid and thinks in a different way than adults.

training wheels. take them off too early, and the poor kid might see what lies beneath the skin (white bone). the kid will know when to take off the traing wheel, one at a time. i found out how to use a wrench on my own.

Read this in "Blondie" this morning.\n\n"I was in such a hurry that I put my shoes on first, then my socks. I had to stop to put them on correctly."

She asked HOW, you jerk.  Chances are, this is a homework problem, and the teacher's going to want to know HOW she got to the answer.\n\nFurthermore, if you don't teach her how to do it herself, how's she going to learn anything.\n\nBut, props to you for asking, honey, it never hurts to want to know more.\n\nCheers

No idea at all.  I have enough to handle just trying to tie my own shoelaces.

The Shoe Fairy \nThe inspiration for the Shoe Fairy came from a little boy who wore these shoes to school one day in the snow. He didn't want to go outside for the first recess. After finding that his family would not be able to buy him new shoes till spring/summer, my daughter and I decided to buy him a new pair of shoes. \n\nA few mornings later we decided to take them to school and give them to him. My daughter did not want him to know that they were from us. So Kylee, who had just recently lost a tooth, and had a visit from the Tooth Fairy, came up with the idea of telling him that the shoes were from the "Shoe Fairy". \n\nWe took the shoes to her class and told this boy that the "Shoe Fairy" had come to our house to give her little brother a pair of shoes but they were too big for him. We knew that he needed a new pair of shoes and told him that if they fit he could have them. \n\nWhen he tried them on, he looked at me with the biggest grin on his face and said, “They fit, can I really have them?” The look on his face touched me so much it made my heart smile. I told him that of course, he could have them. I then asked him if I could have his old shoes? He asked what I was going to do with them? I told him that I would give them to the "Shoe Fairy" and she would make a new pair of shoes out of them for another little boy who may need shoes. \n\nThat was the day that I knew that I had to take this feeling I had in my heart and do something good with it. \n\nMy goal is to make sure that no matter what the circumstance, kids in Elementary Schools have good shoes. \n\nI buy gift cards from Payless Shoes in the amount of $15. These gift cards will be given to children that are in need of shoes. I have met with many Elementary Schools in Utah, and let the teachers know that if they notice a child that needs new shoes, to contact me. I will then give the teacher a $15 gift card to Payless Shoes. The teacher will give the child the gift card and the child, with their parents, can go and pick out a new pair of shoes for themselves. \n\nI started this program in February 2002. The Shoe Fairy is a non-profit organization and is registered with the IRS. 100% of the donations go directly to the shoe cards. \n\nThank you so much for all the donations. Please know that they are keeping children in warm shoes this year and for many years to come. \n\nThe Shoe Fairy is a non-profit organization 501 c-3 76-0797007. \n\nGod Bless You \nWendy and Kylee Olsen \n\n\nDonations can be sent to: \nThe Shoe Fairy \nP.O.

This works! \n\nGet some Grout from home depot and apply to bottom of shoes.  You'll get better traction and feel when practicing... eventually, you'll get good enough to where you don't need the grout. \n\nAnd don't worry, the grout doesn't harden for at least 2 hours so If you wipe it off by then, it won't stain the board.

You can also use the Hockey Pockey song to teach clothing.   For example you can say "You put your left shoe in, you put your left shoe out...you put your small hat in, you put your small hat out" etc.

You got me.  I'm a girl, and I prefer bare feet!  Always have.  It is possible that at friends houses, she is required to remove her shoes.  I know in some households they remove their shoes because they are afraid that shoes ruin the carpets and hardwood floors.  She probably just carries the habit home with her.  One approach is to stop buying her socks.  She'll either learn to go barefoot, or will get the hint and start wearing shoes.  Hope this helps.

I learned to stamp my shoes off outside before coming in.  I had a teacher in 4th grade that kept me inside from recess one day, because my shoes had been dirty so the floor under my desk was dirty.  She made me get down on my hands and knees and sweep up (with a little bittie broom) the dirt/sand that had fallen off my shoes.  \n\nI really DID NOT like that teacher after that...who keeps a 9 year old in from recess to sweep?  Why was I doing the janitor's job?  It's not like I intentionally caked my shoes with dirt, just to drop it in her class.  What a nasty old lady...anyway, that's what stuck with me

Well.... since so many guys in that age group ask how to tie a tie.... put instructions or a graphic about how to tie. Example ...rabbit running around and down the hole or just  printing the instructions.

We learn better when you teach us through words. Now here's a question for you: Do you learn better when we kick you in the box with pointy stilettos or steel-toed boots?

Believe it or not, there is actually a website that has tutorials. It has options for a type of knot. Just click on one to get the tutorial.\n\nhttp://www.tieanecktie.com/

Take the 2 strings and cross them to make an X. Take one of the strings and loop it under the ^ shape. Pull. Take one string to make a loop and hold w/ your fingers. Take the other string and wrap it around the loop. Then take the middle of the second string and pull it up inside the "wraped" part. \n It is easier learning to tie your shoes visually. Ask somone to show you and/or go to:\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_2625_tie-shoes.html\nOR, to tie them fast...\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_3285_tie-shoes-fast.html
