Hi!
My 8 years old is lefthanded. He has just started tennis lessons and the teacher tells me that he might be LH for everything else, but that he is RH for tennis…..???
In every sport he has showed to be LH…. I have the impression that the teacher wants him to play RH for his convinience, am I right?
Thank you

my son has started doing joined up writing at school, and is also doing handwriting practice. my daughter is also left handed, does anyone know if i can get writing paper A4 size, that is glued on the right side. This size paper and it opening on the left side, instead of the right, would be helpful, so my children can see the words, as they are writing them.
Which is better for a lefty: a car or a motorcycle?
Good Morning Everyone, I need an advice from you guys, My Son ( 7 Years Old ) who try to do the things in left Hand in initial stages , but unfortunately we couldn’t noticed that well.. and forced him to do the things in Right Hand… Now he is in 2nd std , he doesn’t write well , Saying his hands got pain when he starts writing too many lines..
Can anyone suggest me , Since he is very small boy, Can we able to change his writing skills to Left Hand .
Expecting your Valuable advice on this…
It is hardly surprising your poor son is having problems if he was forced to change from his natural hand. I suggest you look at our article on the effect of changing hands and the comments on it here:
http://www.anythinglefthanded.co.uk/children/changing-left-to-right.html
and out videos on writing left-handed here

No matter which one of my socks I put on first, the other one is always left. Why is that?
Hi -
I was wondering if you made the left handed corkscrew in a right handed version?
Its really cool, and I want one!
Sorry, only for us lefthanders! (but it IS a great corkscrew and we are really pleased with it)
why isnt there a school where lefthanded children can write words backward to the righthanded way of thinking then they would be writing words and uncovering the words as they put them down just like righthanded and would drag there pencil the same way instead of covering the words there writing down my son his mom and i are all left handed he sometimes writes words right to left i think we should encourage them to do it and we just learn to read it right to left i would like to see a school that would open for lefthanded even the oreintal write back to front i think might be a eye opener for the world if our grades improved due to lefthanded thinking teachers i struggled and fell thru the cracks at school and really dont want want my son to follow in my foot steps
Randy –
I’m 68, and grew up in New York State where the nuns didn’t make a big deal out of trying to force us to write right-handed, so this wasn’t an issue for me. But as a left-handed child in the days of huge number 2 pencils, which I remember to be just slightly better quality that lumps of anthracite, dragging my hand acxross the page always resulted in horribly smudged wirtten assignments and a seriously blackened outer left palm.
But I don’t know if teaching left-handed children to read right-to-left is a very praxctical solution. It would necessitate two compeletly different sets of everything having to do with reading and writing, unless everyone were taught BOTH systems. As it is, in this country they’re tryiong to do away with cursive writing entirely; I can’t see the education establishment embracing an idea that not only went in the other direction but actually reqwuired doing everything two ways.
When I was fitst a father, I had an enlightening conversation with an education professional who told me it didn’t matter what my daughter chose to read (within reason of course) but only that she got used to getting her ideas out of books. So we banned television Monday through Friday – including for my wife and myself – with the exception for an hour of news daily. it worked; our daughter grew up very well red, articulate a good speller, and with a wide vocabulary, usually superior to almost everyone around her.
The point is, encourage your son to read and write, and perhaps ease off the idea of planting an excuse in his head why he can’t write well. I don;t think the two-stage idea would ever catch on, and even if it did, it seems to me your son would be long-grown when it became wide-spread.

Leo
PS I just re-read my post and I’m moprtified by all the typos and misspellings. Should have re-read it FIRST!!
I am often puzzled by this; I am a lefty, but I do not write with the “claw-hook” style that most
lefties use. When I write, the slant is somewhat backward (to the left0, but mostly it’s straight
up & down.
Is this weird? Am I the only one who writes like this? BTW, I am a 52 yr. old male and this has
always been my writing style. I tried the “claw-hook” and it is totally awkward for me.
Just got new lap top with Windows 8. Absolute nightmare. To switch pages (windows) you swipe the touch pad from laft side. Unfortunately, being left handed it means I am constantly accidently swiping and switching pages whic his driving me nuts. There doesnt seem to be a away to turn this off either. Does anyone else struggle with this?
I was born left-handed 1950. My family moved from London in 1956 to small town in Hampshire. I attended the local school whereupon I had my left hand tied behind my back daily ,to encourage me to write and draw right-handed, and there was more. I never told my parents, thinking I was in the wrong. I have never forgotten those days.
My question: Has there been any research / investigation carried out on past children or adults who experienced the same as me?
I am interested to know what effect would / could this have had on the brain ? When at school changing the tactile movement and the cognitive aftereffect?
I’m am interested in the left handed Swiss Army knive, ergo14, can you get engraving with this item?
Thank you

Thanks
I like what you are doing. Are you going to have calenders for 2013 and on? I bought a used all terrain vehicle, a 1998 arctic cat 4×4. The manual start is on the left side and all I have to do is reach down and pull on the start rope instead of getting off and standing on the right side and pulling the start rope with my left hand. what is the dollar to pound rate?
i have been reading your statistics and thought i would tell you i was born from right handed parents,they had 6 children 3 eldest right handed the 3 youngest lefties,we three youngest were always called cack handed.where did this saying come from?by the way as a child in school(im 54 now)in my art lessons i was made always to sit at the back as the teacher said i couldnt hold equipment right so i obviously wouldnt be any good at art
My 7yrs old son is left-handed when he is writing but also using his right hand sometimes (rarely ) Also when he plays Soccer he plays with left foot while he is using his right eye when he is doing something with microscope or telescope.
I am right-handed but his dad is left-handed and he has some qualities like my son.And i agree that left-handed people are more successful with ball games.It is valid also my son who is good at soccer and basketball.I wish i was left-handed too …sigh…
I work as a senior business analyst and i am left handed, although my team is very small the left handed analysts outweigh the right handed analysts. Is this because being left handed means you are more analytical with your thinking?
I am interested in finding a camcorder for left handed people? I have a regular one but find it difficult to use the various buttons/switches with my right hand.

Hi,
I have a ?? My 8 year old grandson was born a lefty….BUT his mother has forced him to be right handed…….(grrrr) now in his 2nd grade of school he is having difficulties…should I TRY to get him to use his left hand again ??? I am left handed…..& LOVE it ……………although as a child in the 1st grade my teacher hit me on my knuckles & put me in a corner for using my left hand. I completed hairdressing school & then barber school……the instructors didn’t know how to teach me but I got all great grades & learned real fast…..:)
Hi there – this is a brilliant site. My 5-year old son is strongly left handed, and is having a hard time getting a good grip for writing. We’ve tried triangular pencils and grips that slide onto a pencil, but they don’t help.
I’d love to try a few of your products to see which might be helpful for him, but we can’t afford to buy them all to find out which works – is there any place where he can try a few different products to see which might be of use to him?
Many thanks!

Dear Sirs:
I am a college student study in Wenzao Ursuline College of Languages.
It is a school in Taiwan.
I need to finish a project in one of the courses I am taking now.
The topic of my project is to set up “a left-handed corner” in my stores.
In order to estimate for the left-handed products price, I found out this website.
I am wondering if I want to buy a great quantity of the products that sold in this website, will you give me any discount? How will you charge?
May I ask you how many products are there on this website?
Could you please give me the list of those products with price?
The information you gave me will only be used on my project.
My English writing is not very good, so if there are any words that are not polite, I am very sorry.
I think it is very rude to ask questions like this, but in order to finish the budget part, I really need your help.
Best regards,
May Lin

I’m an author. I’m thinking of writing an ebook about lefthandedness, LH products, LH shops, LH websites etc.
Yes, I’m aware of ‘LH History of the World’. I’ve got that already.
Q Do you reckon the LH world would appreciate a shorter, more useful (rather than “Hey, that’s interesting”) book to assist LH find what they want?
Any thoughts? Appreciated. Thanks.

Hi to everyone i am lefthanded and i mean really lefthanded i was in a road accident few years ago now. As a result i had to have my right arm amputated, was right handed before that took me a couple of months to get sorted, anyway does anyone know of a camera with a shutter button on left.
I do not know of any “left-handed” dslr cameras, but I often use a tripod and remote with mine. I use Nikon, they have a wireless trigger remote that is amazing.
it is a shame lefthanded people have too contort too righties world, companies know there are lefthanded people in the world ,AND THESE COMPANIES WILLNOT MAKE THINGS FOR LEFTHANDED PEOPLE WHEN A LEFTHANDED PERSON MESS UP YOUR STUPID OR SLOW SOMETIMES I HATE THIS WORLD FOR EXCLUDE LEFTHANDED PEOPLE,THIS IS DISCRIMTION
why lefthanded people have too contort too righthanded world.when a lefthanded,make a mistake righthanded people say your stupid or dumb,the companies are no better because they know lefthand people are in the world and they continue to make things soley for righties,that is a form of discimination someone please reply!
IKR they think that there are so few lefties that it is “useless” but it is not
i feel that i resent the right hand world every single day. not one slips by that i am not reminded of the unfair right hand world.. As i get older (35 and holding ) i resent my stupid left hand more and more.. I am completely and utterly exhausted with living in this (impossible mostly), right hand life. I am the most discriminated person(s) in the entire world. A woman first and left-handed. I never had a chance. U ever been looking to check out the labels of any household product with a handle.. yep thats RIGHT the handle is on the right so it is most comfortable for PEOPLE (north paws) to look over THEIR(manufactures) products. grab it with right hand and voila! all u need to do is read the info, but for me i grab it with my left hand and have to awkwardly flip it towards my body and fumble with it until i inevitably drop it, and all i wanted to do like normal PEOPLE(north paws) , is read the info about it. I hate shopping for this crappy marketing and manufacturing technique. Down with them all. So i guess u could say i am a typically over emotional and probably borderline mental left handed lady. but i resent my left hand and the world that wont acknowledge me… side note… i must admit i love being a musical genius and love boxing …..THEY NEVER SEE THAT LEFT GAB COMING!! ahahahahahahahaha.
Do you sell pinking shears, if not do you have any idea where I can get them in the UK?
Hi, Im Isaac Osobukola, a year 12 student. I am researching into effects of forced change on handedness. Do you really change your natural handedness? To do this I need to collect a lot of data from those who have not been forced to change their handedness and those who have. I assure you that any data you provide is strictly confidential and would not be passed to any 3rd party. Please fill in this quick survey. Thanks for your cooperation.

Hi,
Every 13th of August is international left handed day and i want to know if preparations are made for this years celebration, so i can share the information about the with people Ghana
Hi there. Ive had this burning question for years and was wondering if there was anyone out there with an answer for me. I am left handed but everything i do like using a knife and fork or using my mouse on my computer is all done with the right hand. Even if you throw a ball at me i use my right hand to catch. if i try and use my left hand on my computer its like everything goes wobbly and i cant function. Any idea why this happens or is there a term for this. Very curious
Were you taught by right handers? I knit right-handed because my right-handed mom taught me, but I crochet left-handed because I learned how myself. Other things you probably learned to do with your right hand because it’s a right-hand world; I often use a computer mouse with my right hand because that’s where the previous user left the mouse. Also, your right eye might be dominant, making things like catching a ball easier to do right-handed.
I’m confused. If everyting you do is right-handed, and you can’t do them left-handed, why do you call yourself a lefty?
Good evening,
could you provide me with a list of left hand shops in Brazil?
Thank you
Wolfram
I use a great left handed Ergonomic Computer Mouse called the DXT Mouse. Really handy for us leftyies out there!
I would like the address for the benefit of someone who has no computer and would prefer to receive a catalogue.
is it wrong to shake people with your left hand? i’m viewed as odd and disrespectful when i attempt to do that. please reply
Gee whiz, and I thgohut this would be hard to find out.
Here is what you do! you offer your left hand to shake first and if they can’t seem to figure out how to shake your hand than you just give them a look of disbelief and disgust and chalk it up to stupidity and blindness and go on about your business…. and no it is not impolite to shake someones hand with the hand you were suppose to use… what is impolite to the other person taking offence to it. hold your left hand out to anyone and if they can’t bring themselves to shake it.. to hell with them.
This site seems to catch a market of a few quite well, Well done and this is from a right handler
I am looking for left handed power tools: Drill, garden strimmer, chain saw. Also for left handed calligraphy and drawing nibs plus tee-squares. any clues? Also, a left handed ruler is as useful as a left handed spoon.
I am a left handed person and I want to know the best way of writing without

Hi,
left handed people rule, does any lefty legends have any useful feedback for my design and technology project, i’m looking at the struggles we have to go through when writing and drawing, mainly with smudging work all over the page with the side of your hand as you write, and covering your hand with ink, or erasing pencil drawings as you go! help!

I have a non-profit organization in the States called Lucky Lefties, Inc. and I am still very interested in buying products from the distributor price list. I was sent one but no one got back to me. I have just submitted an order for 10 back to school sets. Can I just become a distributor and buy everything though that distinction? I love your stuff!!!
Thanks!

I am a left handed Chef at Illinois State University. I would would like to recognize the diversity of left handed people with a meal. Can you offer me any ideas for a menu?
So far we have thought of a play on words such as:
Left side up cake
Left on the Cob Corn
Let in the Pot…
Left on the Bone Ribs
Leftovers (not my favorite)
Lost my password & ID info and would like to buy two pair of left hand scissors.
Hi lefties, this is from karnataka, India… I feel very proud to be lefttie.
Me 2
am also proud to be a lefty, lefties are special. wow……………..
hm. isn’t that funny? my mom is left-handed and her birthday is august 13th (left-hander day)
i’m left-handed too.
Thats awesome!- I’m the only Left-Hander in my class!
I’m interested in many of your products but I’m having trouble deciding which ones would be best for my children. My husband and I have 4 lefties (which we find to be quite unusual since we are both right handed): a boy who is 12 and three girls who are 10, 7 and 6 years old.
I did not know of this website or any products specifically for left handed people so our son has developed poor writing habits and I think it will be difficult for him to change however, we would like to try. Our 10 year old also writes like a leftie normally does but I think she will adjust to a new style easier than our son. Our other two are young enough that I think they will have no problem writing the way you suggest.
I would like to order the LH writing combined CD edition. What age does this go to? Is it the full text in color for the child to write in or only black and white to copy or print? I think the children would enjoy writing in a color book.
I also need some advice on which writing instruments and scissors would be best for each child. I think for now I would just need pencils and pens for everyday writing rather than markers, crayons or colored pencils.
I want to do all I can to help them however, money is an issue so I’m trying to get what they would benefit from the most. For instance, is it going to be a real problem if they are not using left handed scissors or is that something I could pass on for now?
Thank you for any help you can give.
Sincerely, Diane
I think it would be better to buy the actual colour books so that the children can write into them direct. Printing from the CD would not be as good.
We have had lots of very nice comments about improvements in children’s writing from using pens in the Stabilo and Yoropen ranges and I would recommend those for all of your children. the older children would also benefit from using a cartridge pen with a proper left-handed neighbour and I can recommend the Pelikano Junior pen
http://www.anythinglefthanded.co.uk/acatalog/stabilo_smove_pens.html
http://www.anythinglefthanded.co.uk/acatalog/yoropens.html
http://www.anythinglefthanded.co.uk/acatalog/pelikano_junior_pen.html
the younger children would also benefit from using any of our writing aids that you can see here
http://www.anythinglefthanded.co.uk/acatalog/writing-aids.html
The Handiwriter is particularly good at correcting bad hand position and encouraging the correct position for writing left-handed.
Left-handed scissors are the thing that most disadvantages children and I would recommend purchasing at least one pair of each size to see how they get on with them.
http://www.anythinglefthanded.co.uk/acatalog/childrens_scissors.html
I hope that helps and I think that your questions and my answers would be useful for other families as well and given that we will only publish your first name and not your e-mail are you happy for me to go ahead and publish your comment with my answers included? If you would rather I can change the name as well.
I see the left/right nail scissor set cannot be ordered due to unavailability of the leather case. Can the set be ordered without the case? I’d certainly prefer to have the case, but I hate to do without the scissor set due to a lack of the case.

Simple: is there a way to prove in court that you are an absolute left-handed?

What kind of test can proove that I’m absolute left handed? The only reliable fact is that
I first started writing with m left and I still do everything with m left. But I got confused which hand to use while writing?
hi
I was born left-handed but when I grew up and turned 5 my great grandma forced me to write with my right ahnd. now I’m a teenager and I used to wright with my right hand since I was 5… so at school I was writing with right hand but I did everything with my left… like: I ate with my left, I drew with my left, I typed with my left mostly and I holded fork or aspoon in my left… I still do it now. but this year I decided to write with m left cuz I guess my body and brain would prefare so… I’ve been writing with my left for one week… It’s easy for me cuz Im naturally left-handed…. But I’m interested if this kinda change will make any affect or will it change anything? should I continue writing with my left? I know that forcing a right hander to write with her right is a big mistake… what should I do?
I’m looking forward to hearing from you as soon a s possible cuz I really wanna know the answer =) thanks in advance
I know there is a book. Something like: Hidden Children; The consequences of developing right handedness with left hand dominance. I read it a while ago, but it’s really insightful. Although for an immediate answer: any kind of exercise for your brain is good. Therefore right handed or left handed would be correct in your situation. According to the book I would go with your original dominance of lefty.
Hi, I thought others might find this useful: As a workplace assessor, I’ve just been asked if there are any left-handed computer keyboards with the return (enter) key on the left-hand side.
As far as I know there aren’t any. But rather than try to re-program the keyboard, I suggested that the client should purchase a USB numeric keypad (Use this link to see products available from Amazon UK and USA http://www.anythinglefthanded.co.uk/acatalog/left_handed_keyboard.html), which could then be placed to the left of the keyboard.
As well as placing an extra return key to the left of your keyboard, it would give also give the option of having your number pad where it may be more useful.
Hope you find this helpful.

i am shopping for a lr baggs m1 lefthanded acoustic guitar pickups. you sell the m1a (active) version. i was wondering if there is a lefty m1 passive version. if not, must i use the active capabilities on the pickup or can these be turned off (will it work passively only without a battery)?
in answer to my e-mail about camera’s it is a definate yes it is a must for a person that has lost the use of their right arm and is left handed.That my not be a large proportion of the population and may not have huge demand but it is very important for the dissabled person that is in this position.With the internet at the disposale of the manufactures the demand is worldwide so why do they not make one???
Thanks Mark for your reply on cameras

Hi Keith,
I just realized that I have not received the newsletter for the past few months. Have you been sending them out?
Thanks
Hello and congratulations to everyone here! It’s your special day 2day! Hope you guys are enjoying it, I’m celebrating with a cake. You guys should do it too. Take care (or cake)
hi keith, i have not been receiving any newsletters. when will the 2011 lefties calendar be available?
Thanks to u,
My daughter of 5 yrs is left handed and i am learning how to teach her and support her through her ordeal. She is writing in a mirror image way and i was really shocked for the first time since both of us my husband and myself are right handed. Even she gets confused to wear her sandals the right way. So I was really tensed. Thanks to you now I know this is normal for a left handed child.
It’s normal u know even Thomas edison used to write in mirror writing! And as a fact of matter I carried the left handed gene from my dad and he got it from my Grandma. but she was forced to use her right hand from writing to playing a Harmonium and she suffered. Never do that to your daughter cause my grandma didn’t do that to my dad and now he is an architect and rich. Is she is good at drawing or singing it’s probably cause she is left handed.
i have ordered one wall clock and one watch from india. how much time will it take to reach me..

I was ordering some equipment and came across the Sattler pencil grips. As a pediatric occupational therapist, I’m always on the lookout for something that might work better for the children with whom I work. I like those. There was both an American and UK price listed, but no way to add them to my cart. How do I get them?
Will the Left Handed Teachers Edition CD work with Windows Vista or Windows7 ?
Does it come with the book and CD or just the CD by itself ?
Do you have an affiliate program?
When I search for back to school senior 11+, I see full description but no picture. Is it just me or it’s not available?
Hi
My daughter is left-handed and has just started school. The teachers says she holds the grip on her pencil too tight and therefore gets pains in her arm and hand and therefore the muscle needs to be strengthened. Do you know what exercises I could do in order to strengthen the muscles? Thanks so much
Hey, I’ve been looking for a lefthanded sketchbook for some time and have not yet found one. This is a problem as the spirals make my wrist move at an awkward angle. Any chance you could start selling them??
Thanky-you’s

do you still sell left handed pinking shears?
best Regards
Malcolm Brown
Sorry, but no. The manufacturer we used for many years has discontinued them and is no longer willing to make a left-handed version and we have not yet found anyone else who will make them for us. If anyone knows a supplier of left-handed pinking shears please let us know!
hey keith, if you are still looking for left handed pinking shears mundial has them, very nice quality too, tho’ expensive….. margaret from LEFTY’S SAN FRANCISCO
Sorry, these are no longer produced by the manufacturer and we cannot find a replacement
To Whom it May Concern:
Years ago I saw a cup for left-handed people advertized in a magazine for left-handers. The cup had a hole at the top edge on one side, so that if a person used it who was right-handed, the liquid inside would pour out through the hole and on to the person. Can you help me find it?
Thank you.
Judy Freeman
I have that cup. It ROCKS!
do you know where i can get one ?
Hi,
Many years ago I was the fortunate owner of an Osmiriod Copperplate Fountain Pen. Unfortunately though I have since lost it. Is there any way you can offer this pen for sale? I know they have ceased production but I would really appreciate it if you find one for me or recommend an alternative.
regards,
Amjad
Please could anyone advise where I can purchase left handed scissors with a pattern ie, wavy lines etc-there seem to be plenty of straight cut left hand scissors but I have been unable to find any which cut a pattern.
Please help.
how can i get my little girl to write in a straight line as she starts off on the line the line then goes off on an angle
I recommend you put a ruler under the writing line. But don’t force her to do it at school or she may feel uneasy.
This is a question about books for lefties. What percent of books for lefties have the binding (spine) on the right?
Hi guys!
It is possible to know the estimated number of left handed people in the world?
13% of world population. Do the math and there you go!
Looking for a dip-it style calligraphy pen with left-handed nibs. Do you carry such an animal? Does such a thing exist?
I see only fountain pens with ink cartridges that are left-handed.
Please help ASAP for Christmas gift.
Searching………..
Wanted to place an order but you do not accept Discover Card. Why?
I have always heard that people use one side of their brains to control speech. However left handers use both sides. Thus if a southpaw had a stroke that hit one side we would still be able to speak. Also southpaws get stigmatisms in the eyes due to the shock of being forced to switch hands. Any of this true?
I make greeting cards. I would love cards that open to the left for southpaws. One can’t turn it around bec the paper is different on the back of the card. Any idea if carry this type of product?just the paper.
Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to order in any left-handed pinking shears, I have been after them for I don’t know how long and nobody seems make them. Are they even in production?
Many thanks.
How can I track my order?
is there any dvds or books of finger exercise for lefthanders for guitar players.
Why are the stems on your watches on the same side as righty ones. I don’t care which directions the numbers go, as I can read a watch/clock in any direction, but I wear my watch on my right wrist (to keep it out of the way) and the stems on your watches would still be facing away from my wrist, just as the right-handed version I currently wear.
Hi on your left handed watch the number 10 is written the left handed way as in 01, however on the wall clock it is written the righthanded way? Is there any reasoning behind this? Do you do clocks completely lefthanded? x x
I want to know if it’s true that lefties don’t live as long as righties. And also, I think there would be more lefties if we weren’t treated so badly in the past.
The vitality one is wrong
i think it’s just that we die more from general accidents as we live in a right hander world, not our fault! and nothing to do with our physical make up! so statistically there are less old leftys than ‘right’ies! i think
I looking for a watch for a teenage girl. I would like one where the STEM is on the lefthand side. I do not see this in your catalog. Any suggestions?

Dear Sir
I run a Saturday School and would like to order some your left handed write boards. i notice that you reduce the second one to half price. How much would they cost each if I ordered 10 to start with.
Thank You
Julie
I recently ordered a Pelikano Junior cartridge pen and some 38mm Universal cartridges. Inside the pen there was a cartridge supplied that was 71mm long. Please can you advise whether we can use the 38mm cartridges or have we been wrongly advised?
Is there a microwave oven that opens left to right?
I’ve looked all over the place and have never found one. The best bet is one where the door opens up, they are usually commercial style types.
Is there an Anything Lefthanded Partner here in India ? If not, can one become a Partner and how does one go about it ??
Hi,
I’ve ordered a bunch of pens, pencils, the guide placemat and the handwriting books. Everything looks great.
I’d like to know the font that is used for the handwriting books. I want to print out extra writing practice sheet but am not sure which font style to use.
Thank you,
