Around one in ten people are left-handed, but being a left-handed child in a right-handed world isn't easy. Nothing seems to fit and parents don't always know how to give guidance on even everyday activities when they're approached from the "wrong" position. Leading expert in left-handedness Lauren Milsom describes simple but effective strategies to help kids, from the very young to teenagers, overcome the many hurdles they encounter at school and home. Find out how to guide young children as they master handwriting, getting dressed, and using cutlery, and older ones in more complex tasks like handling woodworking tools and playing guitar or sports. With her invaluable advice, left-handed children will be confident and capable, and left-handedness need never become an issue
