Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Lefty or righty?

Just wondering about your kid's handedness. Luke is left handed, which is an anomaly in our family!

DD is a right-leaning ambi, and so am I (even moreso, in fact). DH is emphatically a righty.

My husband and my 5 year old are lefties. My other kids (the ones old enough to write) are right handed.

DD6 seemed completely ambidextrous for many years (something not common in my family), but has recently settled on being a righty, at least where writing is concerned.

DD5 always strongly preferred her right.

DD5 and DS3 are both right handed. DH is also right, I'm left handed.

Husband is lefty...I'm righty along with my three kiddos...For what it's worth, middle child is a switch hitter in baseball though still writes and throws righty

DD20 is a righty, DD17 is ambidextrous, or as she likes to say: she writes equally terribly with both hands. I was Ambidextrous but settled for being a righty by about age 10, my Grandma was ambidextrous too but everyone else is a righty as far as I know.

Dh is fully lefty, I am left only for writing, so basically ambi or even right handed (lol), ds and dd are righties though ds is 'right brained' it seems.
Gramps on my side was a switch hitter...

DS12 is a righty but eats and brushes his teeth left handed (like his Grandpa, the only other left-leaning person in the family).

DD9 is a righty, but until she was 7ish played sports left-handed.

DS7 is a righty.

All three kids are left-footed, though, like their mom.

I'm a lefty, as is DC20 (and several others in the extended family). DC16 is a righty, though she does some things left-handed in sports...
