August 13 the World Day of left-handers.Some consider them "wrong" someone is the potential geniuses.But what if the left-hander who was born in your family?
Statistically, left-handed people make up 5 to 30% of the population.Among them are the true left-hander - those with more active, not only the left hand and foot, eye and ear, as well as those who have just left arm "leading."There are also ambidexters - people who have both hands equally developed.
There are many theories why are born left-handed, but the final answer, scientists and doctors have not yet given.But one thing is certain: left-handedness - is not a disease or pathology, but simply a characteristic as height or eye color.It is not necessary to "treat": the "retrained" lefties often arise neuroses and other mental disorders, increased fatigue, especially in children.
signs of left-handedness may notice a child in the first six months of life, but 4-5 years are not significant.Up to 2 years in a child can be replaced several times "handedness."From 2 to 4 years, both his hands were equally active, and only after 4-5 years clearly define "dominant."
To determine whether or not a left-handed child, often quite see how it stacks up blocks and designer, tying shoelaces, paints, etc.In most cases, it will be obvious which hand "leads" - makes active movements, and what - only it helps to adhere to.
for more accurate results you can carry out the test.The results of each task will have to be written: to put the plus column right or left hand, despite what will dominate in specific actions inactive arm note minus, and then to calculate the results.
Do not forget that everything you need to need to put jobs at the same distance from both hands.Do not try to go all the test immediately - it can stretch for a few days as a game lodge.Try not to advertise in front of the kid, you fix the results - simply behave as usual, and then slowly put the "plus sign" in the right column.If the child is equally active use of both hands - put a plus in the column "with both hands."
is an example of what could be the problem in this test: 1. Drawing. Put before the test sheet of paper and a pencil and ask something to draw.When he finished, ask them to make the same pattern with the other hand.Assess what better illustration: line smoother, sharper strokes, a more accurate value for the details.Note whether the child while holding a pencil sits flat, is not strained.
2. Open matchbox.Passive hand will keep the boxes, and active - to put forward "a box."For fun, you can take a few boxes, and put into small surprises.
3. Build a house from matches or boxes .See which hand kid wielding more and better.
