[blparent] shoes

[Michael Baldwin]

Only have the shoes on when necessary, and it is also best if that is a time
when they are too busy with other stuff to take them off.
I think it is a phase all kids go through though.

How do you teach them to keep them on? My dear little niece, who turned 3 in
February,  threw my sister-in-law's cell phone out the car window about 3
months ago. Of course that ended privileges with Mom's cell phone for a
while.
Thanks

Yep second Jo Elizabeth's comments plus:
A designated place to put shoes when they come off helps. They will
eventually learn to put them there. My three year old knows where her shoes
go, and she puts her socks in her shoes in case we need to put them on again
that day.
It is easier to teach them where their shoes go if you are in control of
when they come off.

My strategy, honestly, was to use shoes as little as possible until my baby
started walking.  She really didn't need them till then.  Now at six, she
still slips out of her shoes and socks every chance she gets.  It's nice
since she's old enough to be responsible for them.  But seriously, barefoot
is best, or footy jammies and rompers, while babies are young.
Their tiny little feet don't need to be stuffed in shoes.  Even when they
start to walk, tight-fitting socks with rubber no-skidding bottoms are good.

kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

HI all, what do you do when your kids are little to keep track of their
shoes? I know little kids and babies will kick them off. What strategies
have worked for you?

Thanks
