			<description><![CDATA[ When I was in kindergarten, I used to sit like royalty as other kids tied my shoes because I didn&#39;t know how. It was awesome. I eventually practiced on my
own and figured out how to do it. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I agree GNG, my daughter is advanced for her age. I wouldn&#39;t think anything of someone cutting up a chicken breast for a kindergartner. But a third grader?
<br>
<br>
It&#39;s like those kids that only eat mac and cheese, chicken nuggets and fries. Too much coddling. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well cutting it for a 5 yr old is a helluva lot different than a 10 yr old, in my opinion.
<br>
<br>
Both of mine could tie shoes before they started school, they were each one of about only 3 or 4 in their headstart classes that could do it all on their own.
I was always baffled by that, but I agree it&#39;s the velcro and the parents doing it for them that are to blame. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ i learned in kindergarten. There were a bunch of &#39;must do&#39;s&#39; before we could graduate to grade 1.
<br>
Tying shoes, knowing the alphabet, and counting to 30 were all on the list. I never did the two-loop thing.
<br>
We were taught to make a loop, do a wrap around, and pull through.

			<description><![CDATA[ My boy learned when he was 5.  It was fun teaching him because we had this little Bantam book or some such that had all kinds of fasteners all over it and
inside it. 
<br>
<br>
Never went the velcro route because I didn&#39;t want him to struggle with the inevitable Chuck Taylor&#39;s later in life. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ One of my foster kiddos was 7 and he didn&#39;t know how to tie shoes.  He had always had the velcro kind.
<br>
<br>
I got him shoes with laces for his birthday and taught him how to tie them - it only took him a couple of tries before he got it.

			<description><![CDATA[ I could read at 4 picking the horsies with my dad in Scotland and was a Senior in college at 19 but couldn&#39;t tie my shoes until I was 11.
<br>
<br>
I did the double loop thing until I was like 15 then I finally got the normal tie.  I think it isnt brains as much as common sense of which - as many posters
would agree - I am somewhat lacking.
