Eight-month-old babies like to hold things with their left hand. Should it be corrected?

If your baby is left-handed, will you help him correct it? Recently, Ma Bao Num has been troubled by this problem. The reason is that Num found that his 2-year-old baby likes to use his left hand when playing with things, such as playing with toys, drawing and turning pages. Use your left hand first. Mother-in-law knows that this matter must be corrected for the baby, saying that left-handed people are different from others and will be laughed at. So let the baby cry and make trouble every day. When playing with toys, the baby reaches out his left hand and the mother-in-law pulls out the baby's right hand. When the baby draws, he holds the pen in his left hand, and the mother-in-law takes it down from the baby's hand and puts it in his right hand. If the baby doesn't want to give it, the mother-in-law has to buckle it down and stuff it into the baby's right hand, making the baby cry every time. Now the baby doesn't even eat much. Num told her mother-in-law: lefties are also smarter, so forced correction is not good for children.

But my mother-in-law just wouldn't listen. It was supposed to be like this. Another treasure mother, Xiaoxue, also encountered the same problem. Her baby used to use his left hand when he first went to kindergarten. Unlike Xiaoshui in Ma Bao, Xiaoxue didn't ask her mother-in-law to help her correct it this time, but asked the kindergarten teacher to help her get rid of the habit of being left-handed. Although the teacher advised Xiaoxue, the primary school still insisted on its own ideas. Finally, with the help of kindergarten teachers and Xiaoxue, the baby succeeded in not writing or drawing. So, should lefties be corrected? Are lefties smarter?

How to judge left-handed?

Left-handed people can also be called left-handed, that is, people who are used to using their left hands. Generally, when babies 1~2 years old, they will explore the world more with their hands. When playing with some small objects, the mothers can see a clue about which hand the baby prefers to use when doing these things. When the baby is 2 years old, with the improvement of hands-on ability, the baby will use one hand more times, and it is basically possible to tell whether the baby is left-handed or right-handed, but this is not absolute. Some babies will not be able to tell until several years later.

Are lefties smarter?

There are indeed many famous left-handers in history, such as Einstein, Chaplin, Bill Gates and so on. They are all famous figures through the ages, so it is generally believed that left-handed people are smarter. But the fact is that no research can prove that left-handed people are smarter than right-handed, but left-handed people have advantages in a certain field, and right-handed people will also have advantages in a certain field. We can't conclude that left-handed people are smarter just because of a few historical figures. In fact, many right-handed people are immortal, so there is no difference in intelligence between left-handed people and right-handed people.

Does lefty need to be corrected?

Left-handed people do encounter a lot of troubles in life. Although there is no gap with right-handed people in intelligence, they are easily influenced by social and cultural factors. For example, many facilities in our life are designed for right-handed people. Most of the baby's left-handers are born, which is genetically determined. Compulsory correction not only has a very low success rate, but also brings a psychological shadow that may last for a lifetime, so it is forbidden to help your baby correct left-handedness. However, Ma Bao can induce the baby to learn to use the right hand, which will minimize the troubles that the baby will encounter in life when he grows up. However, if the baby is very resistant or gen has no effect at all, then Ma Bao should stop insisting, which is a bit difficult for the baby and it is not good to continue.

In fact, there are many left-handed people in life, which is no different from right-handed, that is, there will be a little trouble in life, so generally speaking, if the baby is left-handed, try to let him learn to use his right hand and not force him to correct it.
