I didn't realize that I was left-handed until my child was born.
At first, I found that the child is used to eating and taking things with his left hand, and gradually noticed that he draws with his left hand, holds the telephone receiver with his left hand, folds paper with his left hand and steps on the scooter with his left foot, including when riding a bicycle, I noticed that he is used to stepping on the pedal with his right foot and then stepping on the car with his left foot.
Six months ago, the child began to like drawing numbers. Similarly, I think his instinctive reaction is to hold chalk with his left hand. But as he used his left hand more and more, his family began to correct him frequently. The main reason is that family members are worried that left-handed people will have a hard time when they are old enough to go to school to write. Another interesting reason is that they think left-handed people are not respected outside, and that many left-handed people are stupid.
I want to stop the family from correcting their children's left-handedness, but it's hard to stop it. On the one hand, I also worry that it's hard to practice handwriting with my left hand. On the other hand, I'm recalling the fragments that my grandmother forced me to correct from being left-handed when I was a child. This feeling of inner struggle and left and right is very uncomfortable.
When I was a child, when I practiced writing brushes, I thought it was more convenient to use my left hand than my right hand because I always wrote from the right side to the left side of rice paper, because it wouldn't wipe the newly written words. But when I go to primary school and write my homework with a pencil, I always write from left to right. If I write my homework with a pencil with my left hand, it's easy to erase the words I just wrote. Probably for this reason, grandma has been asking me to change it.
I can only adapt to different writing situations and use different hands. This once made me very frustrated, and finally I stopped practicing calligraphy after I was promoted to junior high school. Even when I eat, I feel very tired, because when I hold chopsticks in my right hand, I can't help holding a spoon in my left hand at the same time. Even when I eat wonton, I must be holding a spoon in my left hand to drink soup and holding chopsticks in my right hand to sandwich wonton, and the same is true when eating noodles. I feel most comfortable only when I drink porridge, because I can drink porridge with a spoon in my left hand and free up chopsticks in my right hand to pick up some side dishes.
But when I draw, it's okay, because no one stops me from holding the pen with my left hand or my right hand. I can use whichever hand I want. One thing that impressed me deeply about the left-handed painting is that when a scene in the TV series "The Condor Heroes" was put into "the left hand draws a circle and the right hand draws a square", my dad said how it could be drawn. But my mother and I both think it's very simple, and it's easy to draw. Then my father especially admired me and my mother.
Later, I went to boarding school in high school, and finally no one corrected my habit of opening the bottle cap with my left hand, washing my face with my left hand and texting with my left hand every day. Until the smart phone came out, I would only press the phone button with my left hand.
When I was a student, I didn't think about the difference between being left-handed or right-handed, and which was better or worse. I just know that I can only do some things with my left hand, and I can do some things with both hands. But writing and using chopsticks have been trained not to use their left hands any more. I have never felt particularly uncomfortable.
Because I avoid working overtime after work, I always use lunch to do things. Many colleagues think I am too hard, but I actually enjoy that state: my left hand is eating, and my right hand is using a mouse or keyboard. The previous job was much busier than now, and I needed a lot of talking. I remember that it was basically a whole day with headphones in my ears, and it didn't affect my typing when the phone came. As long as you don't panic, multitasking and single-minded can be well balanced.
However, when I was in class last Saturday, I was surprised to find that the two contradictory things, I was born left-handed and I was acquired right-handed, had a great impact on my life.
Because most people in society are right-handed, many articles for daily use are designed according to the living habits of right-handed, and such a design is simply painful for left-handed.
for example, a camera. The shutter is on the top right side of the camera. Right-handed people are used to holding the lens with their left hands and pressing the shutter with their right hands. Please try the left-handed angle for right-handed people. Hold the lens with your right hand and press the shutter with your left hand. It's a kind of awkwardness that can't be said.
Because I like studying the languages, ranges and characters of various countries, sometimes I feel that I have been bumped into several cultures, and then I have to grope for a way to find a place for each rhythm.
If I hadn't dreamed of being a surgeon, I don't think I would have chosen chemistry as the subject of 3+X in the college entrance examination. Although I graduated from science and engineering, what I really love is writing, literature and language. One of my least favorite courses in college was advanced mathematics and calculus, but I have a strong memory of numbers: as long as someone told me his birthday, I would never forget it once; Many people's mobile phone numbers exist in their minds like address books at a glance, even long strings of numbers of ID numbers and bank accounts.
I like reading books at ordinary times, and I read books very fast. I can remember long stories after reading them, but I may not remember a single word when I take it out to test me. Many people always like to call me Xueba, but sometimes I feel bored.
Most of the time, I'm a quiet girl. But when I stand on the stage or podium, I will talk a lot. I admit that it is a kind of enjoyment of authority and a kind of self-satisfaction.
But I often talk wildly. I used to use this divergent way of thinking when I was a teacher, especially when I was teaching online. Because no student likes a serious and scripted teacher.
But when I shed my teacher's identity and became a student again, I found that many stages don't belong to you alone. Not many people really care about what you want to express, what your story is and who you are. More people care about what they need, what they want to listen to and where they are.
that's why I closed my door slowly, but it didn't close completely. I left a gap for the outside world. I welcome anyone who is willing to open the door and walk in, but I am not very good at it, or I dare not take the initiative to open the door and go out. The outside world is beautiful, but it is also full of dangers. There won't be too many distractions in a person's world, which can make me have more time to concentrate on self-cultivation.
There are many famous people who use their left hands in the world
Napoleon, Clinton, Obama, Elizabeth, Beethoven, Picasso, Da? Finch, Michelangelo, Raphael, Einstein, Newton, Ford, Forbes, Bill? Gates, Jobs, Chaplin, Monroe, Zhao Benshan, Diego Maradona ...
These people live in different times, backgrounds, occupations and achievements, and the only thing that * * * has in common is that they are all left-handed.
I have read some cases about correcting left-handed children's psychological problems. In one case, parents forced their children to correct their left-handed habits in the form of beating and cursing, which caused their children's psychological confusion. Finally, their language expression ability was hindered. "Forced correction caused their children to have psychological obstacles, which affected other functions."
Many parents, including my family, are afraid that their children will be discriminated against for using their left hand, and think that most people's habits are good habits, but they don't know that this is actually contrary to their children's psychological and physical development.
If there is no evidence that using the left hand is harmful, should we accept the reality that children are "left-handed" and often praise children for using their left hand to live?
I once consulted a deputy chief physician of neurology, and she thought that the main functional areas of the cerebral hemisphere could be distinguished by the right hand and the left hand. People who are used to using their right hands have more developed left brain functions, while lefties have more developed right brain functions. This means that which hand the child is used to is actually the same, there is no difference between good and bad, and there is no need to deliberately correct it.
Some parents of right-handed children also specially train their children's left hand to develop their right brain, so it is unnecessary to correct left-handedness. As for the inconvenience caused by being left-handed, "left-handed" can be changed to right-handed after a period of training, so as to learn the skill of "opening the bow left and right".
I wrote this article in the hope of showing it to my mother and more parents. I want to say to my mother: in fact, you are also a natural left-handed, and you didn't even find it yourself. Then I want to say to all parents: If your child is naturally left-handed, why not choose to accept the child's nature? Don't force changes, or your children may be entangled and painful in some things when they grow up.
you don't need to correct the child deliberately.
When my son was a child, he used his left hand to eat, draw and hold a spoon. We didn't do anything to correct him. He wanted to eat with which hand, and fully respected the child himself, and how he operated comfortably.
According to the older generation, people who like to use their left hands are "left-handed", and such people are smart when they grow up.
I am an educator, so I have read a lot of educational books. The more I use my left and right hands, the more flexible I am, and the better my children's brain development will be. So I didn't correct it.
When my son was a child, he used his left hand to do everything. I was reminded to correct it, saying that it was troublesome to write and do homework at school. I didn't correct it after listening. I just consciously guided the children and used my right hand to draw.
When they grow up, they go to school. When writing, the teacher teaches them to hold the pen with their right hand. Since the first grade, children have started to use their right hand to learn to write with chopsticks. Naturally, there is no difficulty. The child is now older, playing basketball and shooting with his left hand, and his left and right hands are synchronized in life.
So, when children eat with their left hands when they are young, don't correct them. It is best to develop both hands at the same time!
First of all, thank you very much for answering this question here. Let me lead you into this question together. Now let's discuss it together.

It's interesting. Once, when my son was about three years old, I was cooking, and the child drew on the blackboard with chalk in the living room. When I came out to see it, I was excited and surprised: my son drew a train that was opposite and symmetrical, which made my husband and wife feel that his son was a genius. He drew it with his left and right hands.
When they grow up, they go to school. When writing, the teacher teaches them to hold the pen with their right hand. Since the first grade, children have started to use their right hand to learn to write with chopsticks. Naturally, there is no difficulty. The child is now older, playing basketball and shooting with his left hand, and his left and right hands are synchronized in life.
So, when children eat with their left hands when they are young, don't correct them. It is best to develop both hands at the same time!

There is no need to change him forcibly. Some people just like to eat with chopsticks in their left hand. My father just eats with chopsticks in his left hand and wants him to use his right hand. He says it's hard to get them. My uncle is even more wonderful. He cuts vegetables with his left hand, cooks with his left hand and eats with chopsticks in his right hand. I think as long as the baby likes it, it won't affect anything!
there is no need to forcibly stop and force changes.
Every step of a child's growth has its inevitability, and it is a growing experience. Just try it as long as you don't break the law or commit crimes. Why not?
The way my son holds chopsticks is different from that of normal people, and I haven't corrected it, as long as I can eat it in my mouth and don't delay tasting delicious food. As for whether others look comfortable or not, it's someone else's problem. You can choose not to look uncomfortable, so why care about other people's opinions.
As I still care about children, I always adjust them inadvertently. After all, habits are really hard to change. Don't change them intentionally. Inadvertently, although I know that my left hand can develop my right brain, there is always a compulsion in my heart to change them.
There is no need to emphasize that children have to hold chopsticks and spoons with their right hands. It is better to train children to use both hands flexibly. Developing children's left and right brains
There is no need to forcibly correct it, just let him use his right hand when he learns to write. There is nothing wrong with being left-handed. It is said that he is smarter than being right-handed
