He can pull them off but doesn't know how to put them on. He'll lay them on his foot like your daughter. For shoes, sometimes he gets his whole foot in but doesn't understand the concept of buckling/velcroing them to stay on. Although he likes putting on our shoes and clumping around in them. </p> [attach=3089/13/mpshmz.447x600.image.jpg] BoogieBea on "How did you teach your LO to put on their socks/shoes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-teach-your-lo-to-put-on-their-socksshoes#post-923537 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:44:56 +0000 BoogieBea 923537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They just learn from watching. After a while, they insist on trying themselves. With practice, they eventually get it right. It still takes us forever to get out the door though. </p> Rubies on "How did you teach your LO to put on their socks/shoes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-teach-your-lo-to-put-on-their-socksshoes#post-923513 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:39:33 +0000 Rubies 923513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost two and understands the concept that her foot is supposed to go into the sock but she can't actually open the sock and pull it on herself. She "tries" then says, "Mommy do it." Same with her shoes...She can sometimes get her foot into them (if the opening is wide enough) but doesn't yet know how to get her heels in. </p> heffalump on "How did you teach your LO to put on their socks/shoes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-teach-your-lo-to-put-on-their-socksshoes#post-923511 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:38:59 +0000 heffalump 923511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: That doesn't mean it's right though. I'm a SAHM so I don't have daycare or preschool telling me what LO should be learning/doing. I just go with what she seems ready for. </p> Freckles on "How did you teach your LO to put on their socks/shoes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-teach-your-lo-to-put-on-their-socksshoes#post-923507 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:38:05 +0000 Freckles 923507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: That's a relief! </p> heffalump on "How did you teach your LO to put on their socks/shoes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-teach-your-lo-to-put-on-their-socksshoes#post-923499 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:35:38 +0000 heffalump 923499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's almost two and I still help her. </p> Freckles on "How did you teach your LO to put on their socks/shoes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-teach-your-lo-to-put-on-their-socksshoes#post-923478 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:31:01 +0000 Freckles 923478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO puts on her socks by laying the sock on top of her foot. She puts on her shoes by putting her feet on her shoe.</p> <p>How do i teach her how to do it? At what age did they learn? </p>
