My boy is off to secondary this September. He is (I think) dyspraxic (I am, and he shows a lot of the same symptoms as I do, I will see if I can get him assessed). We have tried very very hard to teach him to do shoelaces but he can't do it, and gets very very frustrated and upset. On top of this he's had issues with ingrowing toenails (he wore shoes two sizes too small before we realised, because he "likes them that way") and the podiatrist told us slip on shoes are not good for them because the toes tend to be narrower to make up for having no fastenings.
So, getting to the point, will he be teased for having velcro shoes in year 7?
