Developing Fast': Britain Facing...
News0 min ago
How many of you are left handed and what particular difficulties, if any, has it caused you, or your children?
My younger daughter and I are both left handed and I'm wondering whether to give her left handed products to use, or whether she should follow my own lead and learn to use everyday right handed tools.
I am unable to use left handed scissors because I am so used to handling right handed ones that my co-ordination goes 'squiffy' if I use the product specifically designed for 'lefties'. I'm concerned if she doesn't adapt she will be forced to carry a rucksack full of 'leftie' equipment with her wherever she goes.
The only specially designed products I possess are my left handed cheque book and the bent nib on my italic pen.
I'd appreciate some input before allowing my daughter the final decision on the matter.

My mum bought me a left handed fountain pen which i loved it made writing easier and neater.
One thing that used to annoy me tho was my teacher, as left handers know you have to turn your paper a lil to write properly, well, my teacher kept turning it back straight!! the thing was she was lefthanded too!
