1. Reasons to Teach Your Son About Wearing Ties – Lauren Lundry

In today’s madcap, hurry up and get there, fast paced world, learning how to tie a tie and even wearing a tie is a lost art. There are very few functions that even require a man to wear a tie anymore, so how do you teach your young son the importance of wearing a tie, and why should you even care? Here we will discuss whey every young boy should be taught the importance of wearing a tie, how to tie his own tie, and why it can be a very big boost to his self-esteem when he ventures out into the real world.

If you think back to your own childhood you can probably conjure up memories of your dad rushing out of the house in the morning, knotting his tie as he went, or even memories of the elegant suits, and ties, he would often wear when he and your mom went out at night. If your dad taught you the importance of wearing a tie to certain occasions, then shouldn’t you instill the same traditions into your young son?

Research shows that people who dress for success achieve success, and nothing can make a young man feel like he can conquer the world better than a nice crisp suit and tie as he steps into an interview to get into the top school he has longed to get into, or as he walks into his first day at the law firm he was just hired to work for.

This process starts at home when he is watching you put on your tie in the morning; taking the time to show your son how to tie his own little necktie can go a long way towards preparing him for the future. Besides there is nothing cuter than a little boy in a neck tie, or nothing more handsome than a young man in a necktie going on his first date.

If you want your child to have high self-esteem of course, teaching him how to tie his own necktie isn’t the only thing you have to do as a parent, but it’s a great start. He will know that if he dresses for success in his best suit and tie, then he is more apt to achieve success, realize his dreams, and go farther than he would if he went for a job interview in jeans and a tee-shirt.

Many things in life depend on a first impression, teach your young son to make that first impression dressed for success and he will go far in life, and be well-dressed while he is doing it. There is a book available online called “Tie a Tie with the Rabbit and the Fox,” that is a perfect way to teach your young son the importance of a tie. The book is available in English, Spanish, or Tag Along. Order your copy today!

There are a lot of great books available for teaching children how to learn to tie shoes and other things. This list puts the best of them all in one place. However, tying shoes is not the only thing kids will eventually need to learn to tie.

There are sailors knots and fishing knots and camping knots. There are knots for knitting and sewing and crafting. There are working knots and decorative knots and playful knots in balloon art. There are knots in scarves, and bandanas. And yes, there is even a necessity for learning to tie a knot in a neck tie. Lest you think this is a skill you can forever do without, take a quick look at all the ads, websites, and special occasion photos showing men and boys wearing ties. Then think of all the occasions at which a tie is preferred or even necessary, such as graduations, weddings, interviews, and the list goes on. Sooner or later you might find you will need to know how to tie one.

This is a book that should be on everyone’s shelf. Especially if you have boys that need to learn how to tie a tie. This book affords so many wonderful learning and bonding opportunities for both the child and the parent! I know that for many people the art of tying a tie is all but dead, it shouldn’t be. You never know when this knowledge will come in handy. In today’s society we have become lax in our dress code, I believe in comfort, but I also believe in dressing for success. This book helps to teach that also.

Teach your child from a young age… not only will this book teach the art of tie tying, but it will teach persistence, independence, and manual dexterity. Your child will love the little adventure the rabbit and the fox go on, the rabbit runs through the woods to escape the hungry fox, and the chase mimics the motion of tying a tie. This is a brilliant idea! The author of this book uses Mnemonics to teach, this helps the child to learn by associating the motions of tie tying with words, phrases, or sentences that have been designed to help you remember.

Have fun with your child, learn together! This is an enchanting and well thought out book filled with exceptional illustrations. Learn to Tie a Tie with The Rabbit and The Fox makes it easy for even the youngest child master the art of tying a tie.

I wish we had this book years ago when I worked at a daycare. It would have been an amazing tool for mastering manual dexterity.

19. Never Too Early To Learn How To Tie A Tie

Image

When do you think most men start sporting neck ties? Perhaps when they start going on dates? When they get married? Maybe even at their high school prom? Situations and opportunities present themselves all the time where boys and men want to or need to wear a neck tie. In fact, most people are surprised to learn that more and more boys are being presented with an opportunity or occasion where wearing a neck tie would be extremely appropriate.

Now, how many fully grown men do you think actually know how to tie a neck tie? Most people are surprised to learn that most surveys indicate that only 50 to 60 percent of the male population knows how to tie a neck tie. In fact, most men prefer to wear clip-on neckties or bowties because they are easier or more convenient. They claim that tying a neck tie is frustrating and time consuming. Even some professional businessmen prefer to use bowties or clip-ons. Some of them even opt for having someone else prepare their neckties for them.

There is nothing more frustrating that getting invited to a business attire event as a preteen or teenager, being told you have to wear a neck tie, and having no idea how to tie it. What makes matters more frustrating is when you are being raised by a single mother or perhaps a mother and father that have no idea how to tie a neck tie. What is a boy supposed to do when they do not have any friends or family members that know how to tie a neck tie, but they need to wear one? What about when a man reaches adulthood and lands a job that requires wearing neckties, but never learned how to tie them?

The unfortunate truth is that not everyone turns to clips on bowties because they are lazy. They turn to them because no one ever took the time to show them the art of tying a neck tie. What if tying a neck tie didn’t have to be such a frustrating or defeating task?

It is common knowledge that the brain of a child is a lot like a sponge. It soaks up information and knowledge a lot easier than the brain of an adult. This is why it is easier for children to learn how to read, write, and speak other languages than it would be for an adult. For this reason it can be extremely beneficial for boys to learn how to tie a tie when they are still very young. In fact, some people think that there is nothing wrong with teaching a child how to tie a neck tie while you are teaching them how to tie their shoes. After all, it is the same general concept right?

Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox may be just what a parent needs to teach their little boys how to tie a neck tie. It is an adorable, educational, and cute story that illustrates how to tie a tie in a way that young boys can understand. It breaks down a useful concept that some grown men have trouble grasping into a fun exciting story that boys of all ages understand. This is a family activity book that is intended to be fun for both the parents and the child. The book breaks the process of tying a neck tie down in such a way that even the young boys are able to master it quickly. The book even comes with a fun instructional song that boys of all ages really seem to enjoy.

Benefits of Wearing a Tie

To be fair, most little boys wear neck ties for picture days or family reunions. But, there is certainly nothing wrong with being able to tell people that your son knows how to tie a neck tie. When your son reaches adulthood there are a number of different benefits he can reap simply by wearing a neck tie. Some of these benefits include:

·         Ties frame the face and draw attention to it.

·         Ties can be very slimming.

·         Ties can be the focal point of an outfit.

·         Individuals who wear ties are perceived as serious and professional.

·         Women tend to find men in ties to be more attractive.

Now, these benefits may not matter to the mother of a five year old, a ten year old, or even a fifteen year old. But, when your son enters adulthood, he is really going to appreciate that you took the time to make sure that he did not have to go through life not knowing how to tie a neck tie.

21. Ties Are Back And Not Just For Business – By Douglas Siclari

Image

Ties can add personality to any boy’s attire

If one looks at the fashion industry one will see that there are more and more ties coming into the mix. This is a great thing for the tie industry as the market has expanded from the grown business man to the younger crowd and even boy’s clothing. Because of this the designs as well as the way that the ties are worn has grown in its variety. No longer are ties considered just something to wear to the office or to a business interview. Now, ties bring a statement forward about the personality of the individual wearing them. Where it is true that the tie has a place of dominance in the formal and upscale events division of our lives, ties can serve as a day to day accessory to a shirt regardless of the events planned for the day.

Ties have always given a sense of class to the individual wearing them. The black tie on a white shirt is a classic look that screams elegance. However, for a boy this is probably not a look that will be most favored. Blues and patterns are in and make a much more unique look than the common colored tie. If the boy does not like the traditional silk make of a tie then he can go with a new material such as the woven tie (which is growing in popularity). A boy can even sport his favorite comic book hero in his attire and look sharp doing it.

23. Troublesome Boy? Tie Him Up – By Wes Mitchell

Image

Is there anything cuter than a little boy in a tie?

Nope!

Picture a little boy running around causing a ruckus. This little hellion is set on causing mischief and destruction everywhere he goes. Most people wince at the very thought.

Now picture that same little boy sporting a big smile, a nice vest, and a necktie!

All of a sudden he’s transformed from a mischief maker into a ladykiller! Everybody in the room swoons over his adorable disposition and his classy appearance.

The older ladies want to smother him with kisses that leave large lipstick imprints on his cheeks.

The younger women want a boy just like him.

And the little girls in the room blush every time he turns their way.

The boy in the tie could be running around causing just as much of a ruckus, but he’s going to be labeled differently than the boy who isn’t tied up.

Why?

Because he’s one classy little dude.

People like classy dudes.

There’s something to be said for dressing nicely and sporting a tie. It elevates confidence, inspires others, and often dictates respect.

Giving a child this gift of confidence and self-respect at a young age is priceless.

Tying a tie is an often underrated skill that most boys do not learn until adulthood. Many boys don’t have a lot of opportunities to wear ties, and thus they don’t learn how to properly tie them until 30 minutes before a big meeting at their first job.

That usually ends with a poorly tied tie, and a terrible first impression.

This is a problem that a new children’s book, Learn to Tie a Tie With the Rabbit and the Fox by Sybrina Durant, hopes to solve. This book makes learning the art of tying a tie fun and engaging for every little man in your life.

Sybrina has crafted an awesome and well-illustrated story and song about a rabbit and a fox that teaches a child how to easily tie a schoolboy knot. The book is available on Amazon, and it has been translated into three different languages (English, Spanish, and Tagalog) for boys around the world.

This book will be a wonderful addition to any boy’s bookshelf. It also makes a great Father’s Day gift for a dad to read and teach to his son.

A little boy in a tie can get away with anything!

He’s the little guy that can stick his finger in the frosting of an uncut wedding cake and be called cute.

He’s the little guy that can bring mom breakfast in bed, when breakfast is a loosely interpreted pile of burnt toast, runny eggs, and watered down orange juice.

He’s the little guy that can stick his tongue out at grandma, and suffer only a pinched cheek and a look of adoration.

If you want to do a little man a favor, grab this book and tie him up!

24. Troublesome Boy? Tie Him Up – By Wes Mitchell

Is there anything cuter than a little boy in a tie?

Nope!

Picture a little boy running around causing a ruckus. This little hellion is set on causing mischief and destruction everywhere he goes. Most people wince at the very thought.

Now picture that same little boy sporting a big smile, a nice vest, and a necktie!

All of a sudden he’s transformed from a mischief maker into a ladykiller! Everybody in the room swoons over his adorable disposition and his classy appearance.

The older ladies want to smother him with kisses that leave large lipstick imprints on his cheeks.

The younger women want a boy just like him.

And the little girls in the room blush every time he turns their way.

The boy in the tie could be running around causing just as much of a ruckus, but he’s going to be labeled differently than the boy who isn’t tied up.

Why?

Because he’s one classy little dude.

People like classy dudes.

There’s something to be said for dressing nicely and sporting a tie. It elevates confidence, inspires others, and often dictates respect.

Giving a child this gift of confidence and self-respect at a young age is priceless.

Tying a tie is an often underrated skill that most boys do not learn until adulthood. Many boys don’t have a lot of opportunities to wear ties, and thus they don’t learn how to properly tie them until 30 minutes before a big meeting at their first job.

That usually ends with a poorly tied tie, and a terrible first impression.

This is a problem that a new children’s book, Learn to Tie a Tie With the Rabbit and the Fox by Sybrina Durant, hopes to solve. This book makes learning the art of tying a tie fun and engaging for every little man in your life.

Sybrina has crafted an awesome and well-illustrated story and song about a rabbit and a fox that teaches a child how to easily tie a schoolboy knot. The book is available on Amazon, and it has been translated into three different languages (English, Spanish, and Tagalog) for boys around the world.

This book will be a wonderful addition to any boy’s bookshelf. It also makes a great Father’s Day gift for a dad to read and teach to his son.

25. The Loose Screw Reviews “Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox”

Learn to Tie a Tie with The Rabbit and The Fox is an adorable story that helps teach an important skill.  This book is written by Sybrina Durant and illustrated by Donna Marie Naval.  It is a colorful, short story that is very entertaining.

My boys never wear ties-we go to a casual church, and for weddings and such I’ve always had them wear button-up shirts with no ties or polo shirts.  So, when it was time for my oldest son’s first formal dance, he didn’t know how to tie his tie!  Guess what?
