[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always used left-handed scissors--all you lefites who learned to use right-handed scissors, are you cutting with your right hand?  Or are you using the right-handed scissors with your left hand?  So curious.

And OP, I would absolutely get the left-handed scissors.  Why wouldn't you?  If she needed a walker, would you protest because you don't want her to use it as a literal crutch and and have to get special help?  Of course not.  The scissors are cheap and help her find success in one aspect of life where she struggles.[/quote]

I cut with my right hand. I don’t know why, I had access to lefty scissors as a kid. Left is definitely my dominant side, but I do several things right handed—cut with knife or scissors, golf/bat, and use a computer mouse. I bowl lefty. When I took tennis lessons I couldn’t figure out which hand felt better and kept switching and drove the instructor nuts. 🤷🏻‍♀️[/quote]

I generally do small motor things left handed (except scissors) and big motor things right handed.  It’s hard to know which hand to use when something new comes into your life after childhood.  For me, I had a dilemma with the computer mouse.  (I’m probably older than you.)  I also ultimately settled on right handed for that.[/quote]
