The first and foremost mishap is the scissors, for left-handed children, trying to cut with right-handed scissors is a great challenge and usually uncomfortable and can not do well, you have to be very careful with this Since they can be bored and frustrated quickly if they notice that their performance is not the best and are compared with other children in the nest.

Being left-handed does not only mean using the left hand, but also the leg, the foot the eye and the ear. It can not be totally affirmed that a child is left-handed until about 3 years of age, since babies are born ambidextrous and little by little their preference is clarified. Care must be taken to tell children that they should not use the left hand, these children can become "hidden lefties", developing a series of lateralization problems.
