I taught it by standing (kneeling) behind, so my left was my son’s left. Didn’t occur it could be done the other way.

However my wife, who’s 3 weeks younger than me, ties her shoes in a completely different way to me, which I believe is a “bunny ears” method.

Give the large variety of ways to tie shoes, there’s no way you could infer anything other than the way they are doing it now.




There actually is a right way and wrong way to tie your shoes.

Even with the bunny ear method right bunny ear over left is wrong, it comes undone much easier than left bunny ear over right.

If you're like me there's a Google rabbit hole to disappear into for 1/2 hour, completely forget about, and carry on doing it completely wrong.
