How Do I Stop My 1st Baby From Using Left Hand? by MOORCHMOORE(m): 4:38pm On Nov 21, 2015
Early this week, My Wife told me she suspects our 8months Son is left handed. He picks up his toys moore with Left hand to right hand.
This morning, I decided to test him with him bulldozer toy. I made him seat on rug. After winding the toy from a distance opposit him, it zoomed off and entered inbetween his legs. I noticed he always hold it with left hand except on a rear occasion he uses his Right hand. Okay, I park the toy by His Right leg, instead of touching it wit his Right Hand, he stretch his left arm towards it.
No one uses such handle in my family, thou my In-law 1st Son is left hand.
I'm worried because all my days as a student, my friends with such handle always end up with poor hand writing ¤look like were mother Hen is excavating sand, looking for what it didn't hide¤

Dear NL Parents
* Please is their any cause for alarm?
* How do I reverse this to Right Hand?
* He my 1st Child

Why do you want to stop your baby from being left-handed? Its a natural thing.
Besides, various sources have said that changing the dominant arm of a baby causes some development problems.
Accept your child

Wetin do his left hand?

Anyhow sha, that kids is too young for you to start toying with his brain. The use of hand is more complex than you think it is linked to the brain. Besides most kids start picking stuff with their left hands. My two kids did same. Leave the child alone.

Dear pls let the baby be! My mum forcefully converted my left to right and I can tell you that I have the worst hand written in the whole of universe and not only that I am a certified very very slow eater cos if I must eat outside and be fast table must be full of rice falling off! Tho I do most things with my right hand but I never enjoyed it one bit ........plus the baby might have somethings against you for life cos u av successfully imposed your own personal wish on him or her which could be contrary to that of the baby's....


BTW most of our celebrities are left handed Funke Akindele and actor turn politician Desmond Elliot ( if am so correct) I also no one of the state gov is left handed..... Op pls focus on how 2 send the baby to one of the schls listed below and not how to convert the baby to right handed!

Mr OP, hope you know President Obama is left handed, and the former Governor of Lagos state, and present Minister of Power, Works and Housing Babatunde Fashola (S.A.N) is also left handed.
Leave your child alone. We all can't be the same. We all shouldn't even be the same. Some deviations from the norm is welcome.

Smh, when will we stop being crude? What is wrong with the left hand? Is it not a hand?
A child will be perfectly normal we will go and create developmental problems for the child because of some silly unsubstantiated archaic belief.

Please leave that child alone if as an adult you don't know that using his left hand is perfectly normal then you are the one with the problem not the child

People like you won't also cease to surprise me. Why would you ask me why he would pray?? Don't you know what prayer does,?? Or don't you pray??. Hmmm

You should know Everybody must not be like or think like you do, just get the fact.

The scenario;
The dude is worried about his son turning a lefty because of the signs he is seeing, and at my finding what he needs advice,counseling and solace. And I offered him all. under these categories but concised BC of time. Which i further discussed now as;
1) advice: it is just a normal phenomenon and not a big deal. It happens.

2) counselling: forcing to make him use right has higher tendency of affecting his psychological development.

3) solace: with prayers and relating to God he will be strong as to the circumstances any how it turns out at the end. He will understand better.
Also if he is the type that believes in miracle. He can ask his God and who knows the boy will experience a miracle...

So what are you saying now?.
I shouldn't include the possibility of miracles??
Dude just lock up and don't be silly...
Go and know why you and those people you think are backward are backward not me cos am successful and forging higher with God helping me.
Nonsense.

Are you like serious? There is nothing wrong with your kid using left hand because that part of his body is controlled by the right hemisphere of his brain. Changing him will result in slow psychomotor development. Instead encourage him and by the way, good handwritings are taught not inherited.

Any of the hands can be used to wipe their arse with the basic rule of washing their hands with soap and water after using the toilet

Wrong advise.


A child with the tendency of using his left hands more often than his right hand is perfectly normal.
