Will teaching my toddler how to tie shoe laces develop his fine motor skills?

Asked 3 years ago

I love watching my toddler grow and learn new skills and recently I've been teaching him how to tie his own laces since he got his very first pair of laced sneakers a week ago. Will this strengthen his fine motor skills?

Teach your toddler how to tie their shoelaces as a fun and gratifying method to help them develop their fine motor skills. Their hand-eye coordination, finger dexterity, and hand strength will develop as they learn to control the laces. Furthermore, after they have mastered this ability, they will have a sense of success and independence, which will increase their self-esteem.
