People tend to use their right hand more frequently, such as when writing, eating, and moving things. Is it normal for some people to use their left hand? What about people who write with their left hand? Does left-handed handwriting need correction? Keep reading and you'll know.
Many medical psychologists believe that left-handed children should not be forcibly corrected. Physiologically speaking, being left-handed is not a disease, but rather a normal developmental condition. If left handedness is forced to switch to right handedness, causing the established dominant hemisphere of the child's brain to shift from the right to the left, it often leads to confusion in the original language center. The most common symptom is stuttering, and some children may sing off key and have inaccurate pronunciation. Forcefully correcting can have serious consequences.
Experts emphasize that left handedness is just a normal physiological phenomenon, and parents should accept and tolerate their children's left handedness, patiently and cleverly guide them to use their right hand appropriately. Children subconsciously are willing to meet their parents' expectations. If we cannot forcefully correct left-handed people, we should show more understanding and respect towards them. Experts suggest that let's imagine a left-handed person tying their shoelaces in the opposite direction as demonstrated by their father; Scissors, rulers and other commonly used tools are designed for the right hand, which is quite inconvenient for left-handed babies to use; The design of various musical instruments also follows the habit of right handedness
The left hemisphere of the human brain controls the activities of the right half of the body, and has functions such as processing language, abstract thinking, logical reasoning, numerical operations, and analysis; The right hemisphere governs the activities of the left half of the body, serving as the central hub for processing overall image and spatial concepts, identifying geometric shapes, recognizing and memorizing musical melodies, and performing imitations. In general, the abstract thinking function of the left brain is more developed, while the visual thinking function of the right brain is more developed. The representative area of the hand on the cerebral cortex is very large, therefore, hand activity plays an extremely important role in the development and utilization of brain function.
Research has found that right-handed individuals typically have more developed brain function in the left hemisphere, with less development and utilization in the right hemisphere. The right brain of left-handed individuals is fully developed and utilized, which can greatly improve the overall efficiency of their brain. And only left-handed individuals are capable of combining the abstract thinking function of the left hemisphere of the brain with the visual thinking function of the right hemisphere.
Due to the above reasons, a considerable proportion of left-handed individuals have higher intelligence. In 1982, a survey conducted by countries such as Japan and the United States showed that the proportion of left-handed people growing up as artists or architects was higher than that of right-handed people. The three giants of the 14th century Renaissance, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael, were all left-handed; Many intellectual and famous figures, such as Spanish painting master Picasso and American film artist Charlie Chaplin, were also left-handed. There are also many left-handed individuals who excel in other fields.
It can be seen that frequent activities in the left half of a child's body can promote the development of the right brain, thereby effectively developing and utilizing the functions of both the left and right brains. The left and right brains work together, greatly improving the efficiency of the brain's work. Therefore, psychologists suggest that parents should consciously train their children to use their left hand and left foot.
Leftist handwriting is not something that needs to be corrected, and it also has certain benefits, so we don't need to deliberately change it.
