As I was getting to the point of tearing my hair out,:bomb: trying to help my son 'refine' his shoelace tying technique, I decided to search the 'net and much to my surprise here's what I found:
Ian's Shoelace Site I haven't read all of it yet, but it is quite interesting and do you know what???
His techniques actually work!
I'm now trying to retrain my hands and brain to tie my laces differently too!!
