RESEARCH ON TOPIC


Here is the mind map for my studies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TYING SHOE LACE

Tying shoe laces is the same as folding an aeroplane with paper.

In order to do something, one must identify the material,have a goal or an image of the end product. Besides that, they must memorize and understand how things work.
FOR EXAMPLE:
The kid must identify the shoe lace, then have the an image of the shoe lace tied.

Many children will get frustrated when trying to learn how to tie their shoelaces.
because they lack of patience and lots of practice. All they need is enthusiasm, effort and patience.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a simple understanding on how to teach children to tie their shoes:

-It must be teach in steps.

-Remember to undo and redo each step repeatedly,
until it appears the child seems comfortable with it.

-Not only does conquering a step encourage the child,
but it makes the remainder of the task seems that much smaller,
and therefore less intimidating.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO TEACH
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Wait until your child is ready. Most children develop the dexterity needed
to tie shoelaces between the ages of 4 and 6.
Girls are often ready to learn slightly earlier than boys.

2.Make sure your child knows right from left before you try to teach him how to
tie his shoes.

3.Choose one method of lace tying, and teach it consistently.
Make sure that everyone who may be trying to help your child learn this skill is
offering the same method. Otherwise, he may get confused.

4.Make up a game or poem to help your child remember the necessary steps.

5.Make sure that you and your child are side by side rather than opposite each other
when you demonstrate. That way he'll be able to copy your movements rather than mirror them.

6.Give your child lots of praise when he gets it right.

TYPE OF TYING

The Standard Shoelace Knot
The most popular shoelace knot is the old Standard.

The Bunny Ears Knot
This is an easier knot to teach kids, but it isn't the most efficient knot since it
isn't as secure and can sometimes loosen.

There are many more style. These 2 are one of the most common and easier one to learn.

CUSTOMIZING SHOE

Department and shoe stores only offer shoes in a limited range of colors and/or prints. This is how teens can get their own customized shoe online.

The purpose of this topic is for teens to get shoes that are unique and different. Not everyone wants to wear the same and common shoe out there.

HOW THIS WORKS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
