It was just my son's conference today. His handwriting is so atrocious that it's sometimes illegible and he can be overly enthusiastic about things he's interested in, but he's apparently doing well in math and his behavior has improved since the beginning of the school year, so there is that going for him. Daughter's conference is in a couple of days.

Is he right or left handed? I'm a lefty and mine sucks, always has, and is getting worse between the arthritis and surgeries on my left hand

I wish I had the room for a garden. Would love to grow my own veggies. They are so expensive here, and the farmer's markets are all too far away.

Herb gardens are pretty easy to grow indoors on a windowsill, and some vegetables like green onions and bok choy you can regrow after eating by putting the roots in water!

Well I want like broccoli and squash

Speaking of those, time to go cook lunch

That's part of it: we think he wanted to be a lefty, but saw all of his friends using their right hands to write, so that's how he chose to learn. I've since tried to get him to use his left hand to write, but he keeps switching back to his right hand now. The other part of it is that he's always eager to be the first one done, so he doesn't try to take the time to form good letters (which we know that he can do if he takes the time). But he's a month shy of turning 7, so there's still time.

The important thing is that he decide or rather nature takes it's course one way or the other. Don't try and force it.

Yep, he's still got time to figure it out.

Heh I was born leftie but my parents forced me to be right handed 'to make life easier' for me.

 

[Seleya]

I just use both hands.

 

[Seleya]

My partner writes with his left hand, does everything else like eating and using a mouse with his right hand.

 

[Seleya]

I remember reading a question before asking which hand you vape with. I was like "which ever hand is closer to pick up my vape"

Heh I was born leftie but my parents forced me to be right handed 'to make life easier' for me.

Second grade my teacher Miss Allen tied my left hand to my side and tried to force me write with my right hand. I ran out of the room and all the way home. My dad just happened to be there having lunch he asked what I was doing ho about that time he saw my arm and hand tied with rope to my belt loops and made tell him what was going on. I was upset and crying by the time I got home and afraid I was in trouble for leaving school and my dad catching me. But no I wasn't in trouble, and he would not untie me either back to school we went and into principles office someone was in there and I learned that when you tell someone to leave they usually do. He had me tell him what happened, principle called the teacher down to the office when she came in the rooms she started carrying on about how bad my writing was and that I would be failure in life if I didn't change. I got so upset. And my father I don't think has ever come that close to breaking his own cardinal rule of hitting a woman in his life. Needless to say I was put in a new room, my father insisted something be done and she was fired. Now days there would be all kinds of crap about lawyers and court. Back then my father just layed it on the line and informed all in the room exactly what was going to happen and it did. Things were so much simpler back then. Later in my life I used the telling someone to leave the principles office when I was po'd about a little thing that happened. It still works.

My mom was a lefty too. she wrote down not wrote it down wrote down. paper completely sideways and wrote from top to bottom. Me I spent my school days covered in pencil graphite and ink on my left hand cause I didn't write like someone deformed. with my hand all twisted up in a weird position.

 

[CountBoredom]

My son's teacher is left-handed, so she now understands some of the challenges with him. She didn't know at the beginning of school because it never came up.

 

[GPC2012]

gpc will now get off the soap box and let someone else bare their soul.

 

[GPC2012]

My one oddity well not my only one I'm sure. Anway growing up everybody else being right handed all we had was right handed baseball gloves. my parents didn't have money to spare so I had to learn with the glove available . So I catch and throw like a right hander but bat left. Also shoot rifle and bow right handed, but hand gun I can getcha with either.

 

[Seleya]

I always shoot my bow left handed. It feels odd for me to shoot right handed, lol.

ZOOOM...
