Do Left-Handed Kids Need
Special Support?

There are so many ways in which lefties excel in the modern world - from creative arts to sports and more. There is really no reason why left-handed kids should struggle in any way.

However, living as a lefty in a predominantly right-handed world does have some unique challenges that can make the learning process a bit frustrating and awkward, especially when the parent or teacher is right-handed and unaware of the challenges.

If you have a left-handed child in your family or in your class, then this new article is for you!

Whether your child is just starting formal schooling, or is entering high school, my new article is full of practical support and strategies to reduce awkwardness and frustration in the classroom, and make learning more fun.

This applies not just to fine motor skills, seating position and handwriting, but also to hands-on subjects, too!
