Hi,
I have read in a old book that mixed dominance does have an effect on the person's ability to learn. Apparently your foot, eye, and ear should be dominant on the same side as your dominant hand.
I have tested my 3 years old son and I discovered that he has eye and hand mixed dominance.
The good news is that the eye dominance can be shifted back to the proper eye by occluding (covering or patching) the eye that is dominant for half an hour a day, while the child is engaged in task that requires using is dominant hand such as drawring, colouring, cutting with scissors etc...
The problem is that my 3 years old enjoys this activities for 10 minutes and then gets bored.
Did anyone come accross this issue before, and have you got suggestions on how to switch the eye dominace?
Is it important the lenght of the exercise sessions? I must do half an hour a day or can I do 10 minutes sessions 3 times a day?
Thanks,
Vale
