Synesthesia and left-handedness
|
|
Young Left Handers Head Back To School September is here and it’s time for the school year to start. Education is a chore for most children, but when you are left handed and trying to learn in a world designed for righties, it can become a real challenge.Fortunately, our schools have come on a long way from the days of lefties being hit on the hand with a ruler when they use the ‘wrong’ hand to do work. But trying to do school work with the wrong pen, scissors, ruler or notebook can still feel like punishment!
Fortunately we’ve got great help, advice and products for left-handed school children of all ages. If you have a little lefty of your own starting school, then we hope you find this newsletter useful. And if you know of any left-handed children, or parents of left-handed children, please forward it on.

“I am curious if a lot of left handers have synesthesia. Synesthesia is a form of “crossed wires” in the brain that causes a wide variety of interesting phenomenon such as tasting words, painting music and many others. To me people are a color, not an aura and it is very difficult to explain. Interestingly, I discovered when my son was about 8 yrs old he saw many people the same colors as I do. I have always been referred to as “wierd” in my family because I was the only lefty and this just adds to the weirdness. However, I am proud to be a lefty and unique in this world of boring right handers.”
We also have sets designed for ages 7-11 and ages 11+, both filled with all the pens, refills, rulers and scissors that they’ll need for the year ahead.
Our standard school essentials set are designed to be neutral colours, but if your left-handed child loves all things pink then we have got you covered. Our ‘Combo Set 1’ contains the basics whereas ‘Combo Set 2’ is packed full of everything they could possibly need for the year ahead.
