Assignment 7
There is one developmental thing that I remember in which I had some trouble doing, and that was tying my shoes. My parents spent time with me every night working on this, as well as teaching me a cleaver song to help me. I spent about a total of an hour a day working on this and i could not figure it out. Eventually after so much practice I finally figured it out and things were alot easier from there on out

My cousin had the same problem. It was like no matter how much she was shown it never registered until she was able to do it on her own. I believe we need parents to give us the guided support and it shows love and caring when parents do. But its like when parents tell you to learn from their mistakes and you do it anyway. You have to do it and see it for yourself before you grasp a knowledge of it and your able to remember it.
I also dealt with the same experience. However, guided participation and practice we're not efficient, and i learned a weird way of doing it on my own. However, practice does make perfect. It appears your parents knew their guided participation with you would help you master the task.
Tying my shoes was difficult for me too. I was always embarrassed when I couldn't tie them correclty. But when I finally learned how it was like I had a big load taken off of my chest, weird I know.
I can relate to your story about the difficulty in learning how to tie your shoes. I don’t remember learning to tie my shoes the first time, but I do remember learning for the second time. I was in a car accident and had a sever brain injury and had to relearn many simple tasks that we take for granted like tying your shoes.
That is a really hard thing to learn for some kids, some pick it up really quickly while others take a lot more support to learn it.
