So why do kids hate tidying up their shoes so much? We think it's because its boring! First they have to match the pairs, then they have to find a space to chuck them - that sadly is too much work for the present day kid!
Not in my days you'll probably say and you would be right. But kids have a lot on their mind these days, and the only way to get them to do productive things such as tidying up shoes (or anything) is to make it easy and fun for them.
As you will probably agree, getting kids started with organising from a very early age does reap its benefits in the long. It is therefore a worthy cause to invest time and effort into.
One way of getting the kids involved in organising from a very early stage is by providing efficient, easy to use and most importantly fun products to help them enjoy tidying up. Tidying up their shoes being one of the most hated chores for kids can be made fun with shoe storage products designed specifically with kids in mind.
There are many options available to choose from and these vary widely in usefulness. There are wooden shoe storage products which most kids may not find "cool" enough. There are also the more popular variety; plastic shoe racks which come in various shapes and sizes.
Whichever one you choose for your kids, it is important that they come in an array of interesting (or cool!) colours and styles to suit their personal style and room decor. Most importantly, it should be easy enough for them to assemble by themselves. This in our opinion allows them to take charge from the onset. They should be able to put it together themselves without dad's help! (Now that is something every parent will be glad to know!)
Putting up their own shoe storage rack without adult help allows them to feel all "grown-up", therefore making them more responsible and giving them the incentive to continue the good work that they have accomplished.
Sadly, though there aren't enough products that fit these descriptions out there as most shoe storage products are aimed at adults. But you may be pleased to hear that some manufacturers are now listening more to parents and some have even developed shoe storage products specifically designed for kids.
Knowing a product is designed for them makes it easier for children to relate to it and therefore use it. You should therefore invest some time in researching available shoe storage products designed especially for kids.
If asked to choose between hiking up Mount Everest and tidying up their shoes
red bull new era hats Tape Backup Cartridges_5380, most kids will choose to hike up Mount Everest!
Our God given machine of motion still explodes power in this day and age!Yet, weekend runners who barely run a tenth of a marathon are spending hundreds of dollars to buy advanced technology for their feet!Why is the man on the street spending so much on high tech shoes when marathon runners and hunters happily thrive without them?The answer is advertising and product branding.Shoemakers astutely noticed that city folks are mostly overpronators or underpronators. Hence, in an effort to capitalise on this underlying dysfunction, they design shoes that support and cushion shock. Consequently, detaching and depriving the foot from its primary role as locomotion point guard.
Overpronation, Underpronation and Neutral Feet
More than 75% of city dwellers are either overpronators or underpronators. Essentially, it means that your feet lose their ability to accommodate ground unevenness and absorption of daily walking stress. Your foot has curved in one direction and cannot return to neutral state think of it as a jammed window that cannot close.In its functional state, our feet are made to pronate; curve to suit the contours of the ground. This is how we can run side ways on slopes and edges without tumbling over. Hence, feet with full range of pronation can walk, run, jog barefooted and not injure themselves (assuming you are not silly enough to go running on broken glass).Since the foot has lost its ability to fully pronate
Texas Rangers Hats Clearance, shoemakers generally believe that a shoe has to be padded, cushioned, gelled and reinforced. The reason being that it will make up for the feets loss of pronation range. Hence, the natural progression towards spending millions on technology research and charging you hundreds of dollars more per pair.
