Info

Children who are severely physically handicapped and have poor hand control, will not be able to learn this skill. Fasteners Shoes are now available with velcro fasteners which are easier to handle. If your child has good hand control, he may also be able to tie laces with a lot of practice. Remember Shoes are worn to give extra support and should always be tied firmly.
TEACH YOUR CHILD TO TAKE OFF HIS SOCKS Positions suitable for taking off and wearing socks: Refer to the earlier section on 'Teach your child to take off his shoes'. Steps for taking off socks: Start teaching a child to take off his socks by practising with a pair that is large for him. 1) At first, take off the sock up to the toe and teach your child to pull it off. 2) Next take off the sock up to the heel and let your child pull it off from there. 25
