In years past, children had their left hand tied behind their back (and worse) in an effort to force the child to write with the right hand. Our handedness is something that we can't change, although some may try. Before then, we can see glimpses of it in activities but don't be surprised if the preferred hand changes a few times - they're just exploring which is their better hand to use! Some babies will be observed to use their left hand to pull the dummy out of the mouth or to grab the bottle and these may turn out to be the ones who have a very dominant left hand later on. We usually don't see a child's handedness come out strongly until they are around 3 years of age.
Many left-handers are labelled as being awkward, through no fault of their own - they are just trying to do what their body says is natural, but the tools they are using don't suit. Some just can't - they have to use their left hand. They can often do it with their right hand, but with a huge amount of effort, concentration and training. A lefty will naturally go to do a task with his/her left hand. We have heard of one right-handed couple where 3 out of their 3 children are lefties!Īll it means is that the child's right side of the brain is more dominant than the left, especially in motor control (muscle movement and co-ordination). Even if you are both right-handed, a lefty can be born into the household. You and your partner created your little left-hander. If you are worried about your child's development in any way, you should always consult your family doctor. This page will hopefully answer the main questions, but you can always call us to discuss your particular issues. We regularly receive calls for help from despairing parents trying to do the best for their child, but not knowing how. If both parents are right-handed, this is especially true.

Many parents have great difficulties knowing how to help their left-handed children, especially during their early developmental years.
