Writing As A Lefty



My daughter is a lefty.  It took me about four year to understand and embrace it.  When I was teaching her how to write it seemed to look backward.  As a mother i was patient with her but confused.  her father  and i are both right handed. We felt like we could 'correct' her.  But, instead of correcting her we were actually discouraging her.  Using her left hand is completely natural.

I would suggest that all teachers ,  parents or care givers be mindful that children don't all write the same. They decide how comfortably a crayon, pen or pencil feels in their hand.  We should only guide them in the process.  The world isn't laid out for left handed people
I did not take in consideration that i would be buy different scissors and tools for a my daughte.  One item that's great for young writers is the pencil rip for lefties.  It has comfortable indentations
to prevent writers cramp or finger calluses.

The pencil can be found at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BXZSV39 Please check out the video below where my daughter demonstrates the mystic left hand.  Please feel free to leave questions below and subscribe to my channel.
