Being a senior left-hander, I scoff at accounts of shorter lifespans for us.

I'm a left-hander,When I was young,(over 50 years ago) older people would treat me as if it were an handicap,so I learnt to do most things right -handed. A few of my teachers then did ask if I could use my other hand ,but they didn't force me. I'd be surprised if they would today.
The problem I had with a fountain pen wasn't the writing, but my left little finger would smudge the ink as I wrote across the page.
I didn't know you could get a left handed mouse. Would think it could be more confusing when they tell you to right click ?
Maybe you could tie your daughter's shoes easier if you knelt behind her .
Don't worry too much about it . She'll find a way of doing things that suits her.

Just noticed the year when this conversation was started. If Cloviscat should find these replies , maybe she will let us know how her daughter got on.

My yes, this is an old thread isn't it?

There's been another one in the last few days as it happens. That on is F19585?thread=8283462.
