Left Hander- how to correct?

[jenao]

concern2:

I bring this topic up again because jenao has a new thread on the same topic \"Left hand or right hand?\"

Going back to what I said in 2009, my son is still very much a left-handed, and my DH is still hubbing about it like he's some sort of a handicap.

To update, he's stopped learning the abacus after about 2 years, and have moved on to musical instruments and he's enjoying it.

Thanks for bringing this up again. What kind of musical instrument is he learning? Dd seem to be very interested in music, so am wondering if we shld start her on the piano or something, tho none of us are the musical sort.

If finance isn't an issue, I personally think piano is the best, as it encourages use of both hands. It trains dexterity in both hands. There are also pop-piano and organ lessons in groups which allow parents to join in. Since both you and your DH do not have any music background, it may help if you can take turns going to the class with your child.

My son has picked up the violin and trombone as they are offered in his primary school. I didn't want to invest too much in his music lesson. However, now that he is older and have more choices of CCAs, his interest is also getting more diverse, including badminton and hockey. Hopefully when he gets to join these sports, he will have more opportunities to strengthen his right hand.

Hope this helps...

I m born a left hander… I m lucky my parents din force me to be a right hander.


My daughter is actually a leftie like me but she was put in the childcare whereby she is taught using her right hand to write. So, in a way… she is being corrected.

Don't need to correct left handers la I'm a left hander, my dad's a left hander, my son's a left hander too. :scared: Must be the genes!

If you go to google to check, you can see a lot of great scientists, musicians and artists who are left-handed. There’s really no need to correct, don’t go against nature.

My dad's a left-hander too. A few of my students are also left-handed. It's not a prob.

Hi there, does anyone out there know if there’s any shop that sells stationery like scissor for left-handed? My dd is struggling with using the normal scissor with her school work…TIA

I bought the Westcott brand of kids scissors from Giant Hypermart. It can be used by both left and right handers. Comes 2 in a pack. My leftie boy told me it’s good.


There are more and more items for lefties sold at normal retail outlets. You just have to read the labels.

Thanks Cherrygal! Will check it out at Gaint. Wonder if Popular has it too... :roll:

IMO, what's wrong with being a left-hander? Doesn't miss out on anything
