Mingming has loved to write with his left hand since he was a child, and his parents have asked him to learn to use his right hand, but the effect is simply unbelievable, and the words written with his right hand are like some kind of strange spell, which is incomprehensible, and he has to stop laughing.
But the child's mother insists that the child's habit of using his left hand must be corrected. Therefore, parents have not given up on asking Ming to use their right hand, but what they write out is still miserable, obviously they have lost confidence and do not say, they are grumpy every day, and it is very headache to say that they do not write without writing.
In the end, the child really couldn't stand it, and continued to write with his left hand, which was very normal and there was nothing wrong with it. Therefore, parents are very distressed: is it necessary for children to practice using their right hands?
First, children are accustomed to using their left hand, and the sooner they want to correct it, the better
The child's habit problem is corrected as soon as possible, so when the child is young, he just learns to grasp the food with his hands, and the parent can slowly guide the child to use the right hand to get things, but if the child itself has formed a stable left hand habit, the parent can take some gentler attitudes and measures to correct.
For the average child, they already have their own growth rhythm. If parents are really difficult to correct their children's habits, it is better to let their children go with the flow instead of forcing corrections.
And generally speaking, children who are accustomed to using their left hand have a particularly intelligent brain development, and parents have no need to worry about their children's intelligence. If the parent interferes too much, even uses coercive measures to make the child correct. It may also affect the child's own way of thinking.
Second, with the increase of social inclusiveness, many aspects of the left hand habits have also been very inclusive
Most people think that the habit of using the left hand is very inconvenient in the era of right-handed society, especially when it is difficult for children to adapt in the direction of writing during homework. But in fact, parents do not need to worry too much, as long as the child can adjust the hand and paper angle in the process of practice can be largely avoided these inconveniences, in addition, the child's ability to adapt and adjust is actually very strong, he will slowly adjust to find the best way.
Therefore, when the child is young, the parent can let him practice one side freely, but it should be guided in an encouraging way: ordinary children can only use one side, and our children strive to use both sides, practicing as flexible as the left and right hands!
Third, forcing the child to use his left hand may hit the child's self-confidence
Children's habits and behaviors generally follow the laws of their inner development, so when parents forcibly change the child's own inherent hand habits, it will make the child feel frustrated and helpless, so that the confidence and habits they have established will be affected.
Therefore, instead of breaking the child's rules, parents should respect the child's uniqueness and use the child's potential advantages to play his strengths. And the idea of having to use the right hand is actually something that seems to be recognized by the public but actually does not stand up to scrutiny and has no scientific basis.
As the times progress, people's ideas become more open and inclusive, and the forced "correction" of left-handers will inevitably become less and less.
In the face of children's differences and differences, parents should not blindly deny and refute, let alone use colored glasses to look at children, and use language to hit children's self-confidence. If the child really does not want to correct the habit of using his hands, then parents can clearly inform the child of the inconvenience situations that may be encountered in the future, and try to provide more help to the child in life, just to help him adapt to this right-handed society.
