Navigating a right-handed world can be surprisingly tricky for the 10% of kids who favour their left hand. Left-handedness is highly genetic and linked to right-brain dominance, which often fuels incredible creativity, spatial awareness, and strong verbal skills.

Unfortunately, this wiring can also make fine-motor skills like writing much more frustrating. As a parent, you can make a huge difference by advocating for proper tools—like left-handed scissors—and ensuring teachers are aware of simple adjustments, like tilting the page correctly.
