When Left is RightLeft-Handed ToddlersBy Carma Haley Shoemaker One in every 10 people is left-handed, and males are one and a half times more likely to be left-handed then females, according toLefthanders International. Medical researchers have looked long and hard for what causes people to be left- or right-handed. Theiranswer? The same reason why brown-eyed people have brown eyes: genes that manifest their trait one out of every 10 chances.With 90 percent of the population being right-handed, how can parents help their "lefty" learn to successfully navigate his or herworld?On the Other Hand What do left-handed people do differently that distinguishes them fromright-handed people so dramatically? According to Martha Pieper,co-author of "Smart Love" and columnist for the Chicago Parent,being left-handed means simply having a preference for using the lefthand for a variety of tasks, including reaching, throwing, pointing andcatching. "Stating someone is left-handed also implies a preference for using theleft foot for kicking, to begin walking, running and bicycling," saysPieper. "There are no hard and fast rules for determining which hand orfoot the lefthander prefers to use for a particular task. Most willprefer to use the left hand or foot for delicate work. They may alsohave a dominant left eye, preferring to use the left eye for telescopes,camera sights and microscopes." Pieper says that, in general, beingleft-handed means having a dominant right side of the brain.Lefty LoreIn past societies, there was no sympathy for left-handed persons.Lefthanders International shares stories of children forced to changetheir dominant hand in fear for their life, their safety and theiracceptance. As left-handedness was seen as a curse, children caughtusing their left hand for reaching and grabbing were often scolded andforced to use their right hand in order to make it dominant. This was anenormous effort for both parent and child. It is stated that toaccomplish the change in handedness, the left hand would be tied behindthe child's back, down at their side or across their chest to make itunusable for normal activities, forcing the right hand to take itsplace.Obstacles Most tools, utensils, office equipment and dishes are made for theright-handed person. There are tools for left-handed people, butmost must be special ordered from retailers who specialize in them.According to Pieper, this is just the beginning of the battle for aparent of a "lefty." "The problem most left-handers encounter is that the world is configuredfor right-handed people," says Pieper. "And teaching a left-handed childcan be a difficult task, especially if the parent is not left-handed. Achild can become quite frustrated when attempting to imitate a parent orsibling who is not left-handed and may even give up on the task alltogether."Learning to Teach a LeftyWhat can a parent do? Pieper says it's easy -- learn to teach. "Parentswho are right-handed often try to do things in the opposite of what theyknow when teaching their children," she says. "While the concept isgood, this method is hard on both the parent and the child as it neverseems to work how it should. In order to have the child see the handmovements in the proper direction, sit opposite the child rather thannext to him or behind him. A left-handed child is just the mirror imageof a right-handed one. So be your child's mirror."Sue Shackles, a mother from Buckley, Wash., first noticed somethingdifferent when her daughter, Sophie, was an infant. "Itbecame more apparent as she got older -- she is left-handed," she says. "Thebiggest problem was when Itried to teach her to manipulate items. You can't sit next to a leftieas a right-handed mom and show them how to do something, because tothem, it's Greek. Tying shoelaces was exceptionally difficult. Thesolution, which worked best for us, was to sit across from her, and haveher copy my movements as though we were using mirror imagery. When Imoved my left hand, she moved her right. You can utilize this for almostevery problem -- how to hold a fork, or a pencil, etc."Myths of LeftiesWhile there are many myths related to left-handed children, here are themost popular.Lefties are More Apt for Creative Genius: A really interestingquestion is whether there is any connection between left-handed peopleand creative genius. As one of the most common myths of left-handedpeople, Pieper states coincidence rather then consequence. "Some of history's most creative minds have been left-handed," saysPieper. "Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Ludwig van Beethoven, BenjaminFranklin, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein were all left-handedaccording to history. But just as we can name all these wonderfullytalented left-handers, we can also name just as many right-handers.There are no concrete facts to prove or disprove any relation betweenbeing left-handed and being exceptionally in any field. However, even ifit isn't fact that left-handedness gives rise to creative genius,left-handed children and parents can take comfort to know that they arein good company."Lefties are More Clumsy: As they are thought to be "out of thenorm," left-handed children are often labeled as clumsy. But is it trueclumsiness, or just a matter or having to adapt? "Left-handed children,when attempting to accommodate to an opposite world, appear awkwardusing tools that have right hand preference designed into them," saysPieper. "However, right-handers display even more awkwardness usingleft-handed tools than left-handers do using right-handed tools. This isprobably because right-handers are less used to adapting. It's not amatter of being truly clumsy, but instead, it is that a child has notyet overcome or adapted to that right-hand based obstacle."Lefthanders International has designated August 13 as InternationalLeft-handers Day. This August may be a great time to startcelebrating your child's uniqueness, versatility and left-handedness. "Ihave always accepted what life has to offer and tried to teach my kidsthe same philosophy," says Karen Hawkins, an Internet professional andfreelancewriter from Bridgton, Maine. "I believe THE most important thing you cando for any child is to accept their limitations, while encouraging themto strive to be the best they can be." "Being left-handed is not a curse, it is not a handicap and it is not arestraint," says Pieper. "But if the parent makes it a focal point ofthe child's development, it becomes all these things and more. A childis still a child, in need of guidance, love, understanding, instructionand modeling, regardless of which hand they choose to hold a spoon. Payattention: Your 'lefty' could probably teach you something regardingadaptation."
