Left-handed people are the same as right-handed people, with the difference that they are more skilled and prefer to use the left side of their body. The issue is that most things are designed for right-handers, which is why we have to be patient with left-handed children since throughout their learning they may feel somewhat frustrated at times.
The first and main mishap with which they will cross are the scissors, for left-handed children, trying to cut with scissors for right-handers is a big challenge and it is usually uncomfortable and they can not do it well, you have to be very careful with this since they can become bored and frustrate quickly if they notice that their performance is not the best and compare with other children in the nest. Many moms do not know that there are scissors for lefties, but yes, there, let's use them! We will make life a lot easier if we give them the right tools.
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 completely affirmed that a child is left-handed until approximately 3 years of age, since babies are born ambidextrous and their preference is gradually clarified. Be careful to tell children not to use their left hand, these children can become "left-handers", developing a series of lateralization problems.
