My DGD 4yrs is writing with both hands at the moment and making a good job of it, she was writing a birthday card for her friends party today and wrote the first half with her left and then changed to her right, so unsure which she will finally use.

Never mind, Nonu...smile

Nonu Sat 18-Aug-12 20:56:46

You"ve lost me girlfriend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anagram Sat 18-Aug-12 20:47:38

Of course it's wrong to try to make a left-hander use his or her right hand. That wasn't in question.

Nonu Sat 18-Aug-12 20:45:39

Well Anagram the bottom line is that my son"s teacher was WRONG ,

Sook Sat 18-Aug-12 20:10:39

Annobel my hand-writing slopes to the right. I hold my pen awkwardly and this caused problems in the past as it made me very slow. When I sat my O levels many moons ago I failed them simply because I ran out of time. I re-sat them 10 years later as I managed to change my style of writing....horrible not as neat but it did the trick and I passed all with flying colours.

I am an avid knitter and my knitting goes everywhere with me. It's a great conversation starter as yes I do knit in a very peculiar fashion that's all my own. grin

Nonu grin

Nonu Sat 18-Aug-12 19:40:06

Well sook peaflower I have a notion u may be right , my son , my brother and now DG are all left handed and they are "people in their own right " if you get me heyho

Anagram Sat 18-Aug-12 19:25:10

Well, I'm glad that's been clarified - thought I must have missed some radical 'if we make them use the hand they want to, they'll do the opposite' teaching method of the past!

Annobel Sat 18-Aug-12 19:18:30

DS1 is right-handed and plays tennis with his left hand; his father is left-handed but plays golf with right-handed clubs. I am fairly certain that my mother should have been left-handed because her hand-writing sloped backwards and in the days when she went to infant school (World War One), children were simply not allowed to use their left hands. When my right hand was out of action, I had a big problem using a mouse left-handed.

Sook Sat 18-Aug-12 19:12:38

Embarrasing moment doh blush I meant sit on our left hand or with our left hand behind our backs.

Some people are able to write legibly with both hands I suppose that means that they don't have a dominant side of the brain? I believe it's called (ambidextorous)I think . I haven't checked, before somebody comes down on me like a ton of bricks grin.

Nonu Lefties (1 in 11 of the population are lefthanded) have been around a lot longer than polictical persuasions. grin

We have a saying.....Left handers do it differently wink

Nonu Sat 18-Aug-12 18:55:26

Jeni has clarified it , was a typo . grin

Nonu Sat 18-Aug-12 18:53:28

Sook , had to read your message twice and I2m not taking the mick when u said "lefties" I thought you meant your political persuasion, then the penny dropped LOL daft me

numberplease Sat 18-Aug-12 18:51:07

Can`t cope with a mouse, give me my touchpad anytime!

Anagram Sat 18-Aug-12 18:44:08
