Well, it is my mother who taught me the most important life lessons and skills And among many things, she taught me how to tie shoelaces. I believe that it's one the most important skills I've ever learned. At the same time, I think it's one of the most painstaking tasks I've had so far. I'm serious. And I think this is the main reason why I still remember this process so vividly. I think I was 6 or 7 when my mom decided it was time for me to get more independent. And so we started. You see, it takes no more than two seconds to tie your shoes. You do it automatically without thinking about it. I mean it's as natural as breathing. But for a 6-year-old child it isn't as easy 'cause this seemingly simple action consists of many stages. So we started practising 5 minutes every day and my mom broke down this complicated task into smaller steps not to overwhelm me. But it didn't really help.
At first, we practised with my shoes off. We used laces of two different colours to help me differentiate one lace from the other. We started from learning to make a starting knot. Mom showed me how to cross the left end over the right end of the lace, wrap one end around the other, pull both ends to complete the knot.
When I finally succeeded, we moved on to a more complicated task.
She started teaching me to make both ends into 'loops' that look like bunny ears, then cross the two loops over each other, wrap the right loop around the left one, grab hold of both loops and pull the knot tight. Every day we took one small step forward.
Everything was ok when we did it together, but when she asked me to do it myself, it was terrible. It was as if I had never practised anything before. We did it again and again until I managed to do it myself.
