One in 10 people is left-handed. Yet many of our youngest left-handers can face unnecessary challenges in early years settings simply because the world is designed for the right-handed majority.
We can tackle this issue in three parts: identification, action and ongoing monitoring.
When it comes to identification, there are some specific issues for us to consider in view of the young age of the children we’re working with. Babies are neither left- nor right-handed, using both hands equally and often swapping. Typically, they’ll simply use the hand that’s closest to the object they want to pick up.
