I too have read that forcing a child to use the right hand when he's more comfortable with the left (or vice versa) can interfere his brain development. While it is certain that we can always train the child to use both hands, but insisting and forcing is not the way to go. We can train but that's only if they are ready and willing. Otherwise, we may be hindering more than helping. From a parent's point of view, i would prefer if the teacher told me about these consequences rather than having the teacher obey my wishes.Homeschool @ sghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292068554504662142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127454733297561598.post-2355911251711664092010-05-25T19:50:58.143-07:002010-05-25T19:50:58.143-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127454733297561598.post-62972735508812916402010-05-25T16:21:16.973-07:002010-05-25T16:21:16.973-07:00@M Well, i've met you and seen you use your ri...@M Well, i've met you and seen you use your right hand while eating or doing other practical life stuff.

Although many people do disagree, and believe that if I had continued doing things with my left hand I would have been more adept at it.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566359812698171142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127454733297561598.post-68933092978240824362010-05-25T16:10:33.664-07:002010-05-25T16:10:33.664-07:00@Sajid Ofcourse everyone can be trained to use bot...@Sajid Ofcourse everyone can be trained to use both their hands if the training is given from the very start but the efficiency will never be the same. Also, if you force a child to do something he/she is not comfortable doing, he loses confidence in doing that thing. The child here is still not able to hold a pencil. Thats proof enough that you mustn't force. Yes the child if willing can be taught but not otherwise!Anjumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920922778873999482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127454733297561598.post-89812914417893851392010-05-25T15:23:13.656-07:002010-05-25T15:23:13.656-07:00Love your blog!!

If I wish I can start working with my left hand and that will make me ambidextrous. As far as the child is concerned, I do think that this is good that he start working with his left hand. But I still believe, Impossible is nothing...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
