[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Handedness isn't that clear cut. I write left handed, but have always cut with my right hand—using scissors or a knife. I eat European style—fork in my left hand, knife in my right. I also bat, golf, etc. right handed. I remember my preschool teacher trying to get me to use the left handled scissors and I just couldn’t. So I would make both options available and see what your child chooses. [/quote] I am in your situation: I write with my left hand, but do everything else with my right (except hold a knife or spoon). I don’t think it’s as easy as saying that it’s not that clear cut. I think it varies from person to person. Some people are extremely right- or left-hand dominant, and others, like you and me, can be more flexible. [/quote]
