Title: I should have listened
Review: I did not place much weight on the reviews that criticized the two loop method. That is not the way I tie my shoes, but I figured well we all do it somehow. My child wants to learn but doesn't like seeing someone able to do it when she can't. I thought the book would be perfect, because she could take it off to a corner and practice at her own pace. She is 4 1/2 and has expressed an interest in learning. While the book initially built excitement for her, she has now lost interest because she is finding it so frustrating. She wants to do it just as the book, but some of the pictures are hard for her to follow. I tried doing the two loop method and I found it very tough to do. Frankly I think it takes more finger dexterity than the other way. She accidentally did it the other way once and had success but now refuses to learn the other way because "the book says..." At the same time she is now too frustrated to use the book. It is sturdy and a great idea overall.
Is the review positive or negative?
