"On the day we went shopping for hiking shoes, I decided to gauge her interest. It wasn't an ideal situation, but I taught her how to tie a shoe in the three minutes it took to wait for the cashier. She seemed intrigued by the challenge."
"Every time I've sat down to show her how to tie a lace, she'd melt down in confusion. This happened about three times in her life, and not once did I shame her or insist she learn 'right now.'"
"When they showed interest, I showed them how to do it. If they showed signs of fear or stress around potty training, we didn't engage with it. They all magically mastered the potty thing on their own around the age of 3."
