Being a Lefty in a right handed world!



My elder one is a born leftie, i.e. he uses his left hand for everything from writing to eating.

He cannot eat with his right hand because he uses it for functions we do with our left hand. But I could see she wasn’t convinced, because she still commented, “It is parents who help make or break a habit for a child, you simply didn’t try”. I didn’t offer to explain any more, but I could see that it disturbed my elder one a wee little bit.
