Many of us have seen a picture of parents trying to convince their child to shift an object from the left hand to the right. Moreover, some parents had to face this problem on their own experience. The left-handed boy or girl, prefer to do all usual for any human action with the left hand, which is they leading.

More recently, these children tried to retrain not only the family, but later in preschool, school institutions, etc view on this situation has changed. There are many effective methods of changing the leading hand, in the early stages of child development, but it is necessary to identify the problem as early as possible. If a child still remained a Lefty, in our time, this fact is not an excuse for regular trainings about the change of hands, because he can quite normally exist and develop.

How can you determine?

The brain of each person is known to consist of the right and left hemispheres. These hemispheres converge the nerve endings from all the senses. At the same time, the left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for the right half of the human body, and the right – for the left. The left hemisphere is responsible for rational and logical thinking, it houses speech centers that classify and analyze the information received. The right hemisphere is responsible for so-called spatial thinking and is called intuitive or emotional.

Children who had a greater reliance on the left hemisphere, are prone to structuring and mathematics. For those who make the most of the right hemisphere, tend to have creative talents, they are often extraordinary inventors and visionaries. As a rule, children use both abilities and it is very difficult to predict who they will become in the future: engineers or artists.

Most babies under 2 years of age are Ambidextrous, meaning that they can use both the left and right handles equally. However, starting from 3-4 months of age, parents can try to determine the baby's predisposition to use the right or left hand as a presenter. It was during this period of movement of the handles become more aware and vestigial reflexes start to fade away.

Whether to retrain the child?

Before parents decide whether to retrain the child to the left – handed or leave everything as it is, they need to clearly understand that the child – left-handed is not a deviation, but some feature. However, it will not prevent the baby to develop fully. The right-handed or left-handed kid, depends solely on his innate characteristics.

In addition, it should be understood that it is not enough to determine the left-handed or right-handed child, the process of re-training is very difficult and can take place in each individual case in different ways. At the same time, it can have a certain impact on the psycho-emotional state of the child and adversely affect its development. In the end, having that boy or girl become right-handed, the parents get whole bunch of mental and neurological in nature.

Today for left-handed children there are many special things, including clothes, notebooks, pens, etc. For the left-handed boy or girl need to try to organize personal space, including a workplace and a place of rest. So it will be comfortable for both the child and his parents.
