Parenting Guide – Helping Your Unique Left Handed Child To Have An Easier Start
The floors of the living space of our home is completely laid with marble, cut out of limestone, and polished to a silvery sheen. It was cool for the tropics and for the hot day.
But it was also slippery, especially if water is spilt on to it.
That was why, one fine day, our baby boy Vin who was barely a toddler at three years old, stepped on his split drink from his plastic cup, and fell.
The doctor diagnosed a slight fracture on his left hand, and after a few days in a sling, the fracture healed by itself as it was very slight, and he was well again.
That taught us a lesson of home safety for kids. Always ensure the floors are dry if they are not carpeted.
But there was more to this.
I discovered Nature had a way to compensate for the fracture. Very soon, it seemed Vin liked to use his left hand that had been fractured before more often than his right, and that became his strong hand.
He was using his left hand for writing, for playing with the crayons, and for holding his toys.
He was a “leftie”!
