Don't know, but let me know how he gets on - DD3 is lefthanded but so far I have only bought lefthanded scissors and she won't use them.

I don't think I've ever had left handed anything either - and I'm not a child of the 70's - though my DB was and we're convinced that he is actually lefthanded but was "forced" to write righthanded at school.......

I'm left handed: if is writing is ok I'd leave him as he is. I don't think a l-h pen would help with seeing what he has written.

Can you see what you have written?

L-h scissors might be helpful

I Nam a repressed child of the 70s but I seem to have survived in the right handed world....

Eh cod? What is gifted or talented about being left handed?

Report

TheQueenOfQuotes · 18/09/2007 13:54

ahh bozza - didn't you know that (apparently) there are more artistic (and therefore talented of course ) people who are l-h than r-h????

Left-handed scissors are the bollocks.

Although if your scissors are good and sharp it doesn't really matter. I had a permanent groove in my finger as a child from forcing the blades of crappy school "safety" scissors together.

those pens on the 2nd link still wouldn't work for me as my "neat" handwriting involved me "curling" my hand around so my fingers and thumb are virtually pointing towards me

My DS 10 has the smove (2nd link) and they work for her. She normally smudges her work as her hand drags across it.The smove stops her doing this.

They are supposed to use the berol handwriting pens at school, but her teacher felt the was enough improvement in her writig for her to be allowed to use the smove.
