| Description: |
This book features 32 fun drawing and cutting activities designed for possibly left-handed pre-school children. With further observation exercises, the book helps parents achieve greater certainty about their child's probable handedness before entering Primary School. This can help avoid problems often encountered by left-handers in the classroom. |
| Synopsis: |
Thirteen per cent of children are left-handed, it is said. But which thirteen per cent? Pre-school children - as with older children and adults - can show dominance on one side or the other for different actions such as eating, throwing, kicking or drawing. Many people remain 'ambi-dextrous' or 'cross-lateral'. Pre-school children, though, can more frequently change apparent sidedness. So it's more difficult to be sure whether they are left- or right-handed. This is important when they start Primary School: left-handers do need to be treated differently to right-handers in a number of ways. These are very simple: for example, if two children - one writing with the left hand and the other with the right hand - are incorrectly positioned in their school setting, elbows can clash, and irritation build up. So switch the children around and this problem is solved.The book aims to help parents become more aware of sidedness through specified exercises with their child, and it provides the probably left-handed child with fun drawing and cutting activities designed especially for young left-handers.By observing the child throughout, the parent can inform their new school teachers with greater certainty about their child's probable handedness, so avoiding much of the difficulty which many young left-handers still face. |
