coping with Left handedness

I think being left handed is not a real big deal and it is not a disorder. It depends on the brain functioning and it is decided there. Nothing much to worry about if she uses more left hand. The one thing what you said about her reading is to be corrected. people who are left handed also reads from left to right but not from right to left. This has to be corrected. I f she is going to school she will automatically adjust. other wise need to see a doctor. Wish and pray she reads normally and comes up in life with flying colors. Calpro

my grand parents were right handed even on my husband side but I noticed my one year old is using his left hand..but maybe he will change later as he grow.

I am a left-handed person and both of my parents were right-handed people. I remember many times when my mother was teaching me things that instead of sitting next to her as my brother and sister would do when she was teaching them things, she would have me sit across from her to watch her acheive tasks. That way my brain was reading things the way that I should be doing them. Now I'm a left-handed parent of both a right-handed child and a left-handed child. I find for me to teach my son to do things is a lot easier than it was when I was teaching my daughter to do the same things.

Yes, I don't really see being left handed as some sort of a disease or affliction. I see many people cope with it quite nicely. My friend that is left handed say its tough to write stuff because your hand with get all smudged with the ink or lead from a pencil. I think the teachers will help with the child's writing or learning even if they are dealing with left handed students. I don't see any disadvantage in learning if you are a left handed person.

For me they are not hard to teach there children even if it is left handed because they are good in it.

My grandson is left handed but we had no problems with him when he was learning to read and write, we taught him no different to how we taught the right handed children. It is simply that he holds his pen in the different hand, I wouldn't worry about it or get the child stressed about it at all.

My boyfriend is left handed and he doesn't have any problems with it as far as I am aware, so he doesn't have to "cope" with it. I know that when he was young he could write a little with both hands and the teacher told him to choose one and he chose his left. There was also a girl at school, who was left handed and she had the neatest handwriting in the whole year.

To complicate matters further, I'm ambidextrous. I write with my left hand..but that's about it! Practically everything else (including peeling potatoes) I do with my right hand. I really should be more creative than I am with these "skills" but if I chose to paint I would have to use a paintbrush in my left hand. Your grand-daughter sounds ambidextrous to me. I don't have any tips but be prepared for her to be EXTREMELY clever!

It is related to the development of our left and right brain. As what I know, the left handed people will be more creative. In this society, all of the tools and system are mostly dedicated for right hended people. For Chinese, the left handed people will have the problem when he or she is having a meal with other people. When a person hold the chopsticks by his left hand, his chopsticks will hit the right handed's chopsticks at his left next to him. I were using my left hand to hold my chopsticks. Because of this problem, my father forced me to change to use my right hand.

im left handed and personally i didnt notice any difference in learning to read and write when i was growing up but people say left handed people are more hands on so try to have her trace letters and take her hand while she reads and have her put her finger over each word she reads.
