Maybe they could come out with an app teaching kids to tie their shoes? 😛

Fear not a child who knows how to use a cell phone, but be very afraid when they discover credit cards.

Don’t blame technology. If your kid has a problem tying his shoelaces, technology is not to blame. My 5yo knows how to work an app, play a YouTube video on my phone, and play Cut the Rope better than most adults. But because he wears velcro shoes, is he inadequate?

And let me add, I don’t think I suck being a parent either. LOL There are certain things that you focus on as your kid grows, and that focus is different for different people. Obviously I don’t believe that he needs to be able to tie his shoes in Kindergarten. But if he wasn’t able to read, then I’d spend more time on it. He can’t swing by himself on the swings, but he can dribble a basketball better than most kids his age. You’ll quickly learn that you can’t focus on everything…or you’ll fail at everything.
