I don't understand because she started tying her shoe laces correctly very young whereas he needed velcro straps on his shoes & then when he got laces, never untied them, just kept them tied & used them like loafers. I still scratch my head if I ever see him tie laces
They’re all different.
Both my kids are going to have a rough time of it.
One is afraid of the unknown and a rigid thinker.
The other is stubborn and won’t listen.
So they are slow to learn any physical, spatial, exercise type stuff.
I added 2 teeth to the younger kids freewheel because she won’t stand up and go for it. And 165mm crank arms.
I think they need to ride with other kids more advanced than them. Most parents are terrified of Rona and most kids are playing video games so we’ll see.
