What do you want clips for?

dementedpixie · 29/07/2018 14:40

My 2 have never had clip on ties and just tie it themselves

I guess it's because I can't tie a good knot and think it's a strangulation risk.

If you don’t teach him to be comfortable tying a tie correctly, you’re disadvantaging him for later life. He need some to feel comfortable in a shirt and tie to perform properly at some interviews. Just get him a real tie.

Are there any YouTube videos showing you how to tie a tie?

Ours have a tie at primary school. Don't think they've lost many kids due to the dangerous ties (only P1,2,3 get an elastic one, the rest get a proper one)

Why would you tie a knot?! They do it themselves! YouTube...
