Am not sure about this one TBH??
My DD1 is just 8 and goes to Brownies with a group of 7-10 year olds (though most of them are 8 and over)!
On Tues she came home with a shoe made from paper and laces through it - and says they spent most of the hour "learning" to tie their shoelaces!
Really??? At 8 and older, do they need to be taught this skill in a formal setting - WTF are the parents doing - even in this day of velcro and slip ons, surely by 8 children can do this basic skill??
I was shocked and DD1 said she was bored silly - no surprise there....
So AIBU, am I expecting too much, and before you all shout SEN, there are no SEN children in this group!

to think that at 8 a child should be able to tie their shoelaces??
