How can I get my 4 year old to understand that if she's going to continue to....?

Question

to write with her left hand then I'm going to have to send her away to a place where she is accepted. I don't want to have to get rid of her like this, but I also don't want her to get ridiculed by normal people. I don't know what to do. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

What is wrong with being left handed?  

They are the only one's who are in their right mind

Answer 2

have her lefthand amputated....that way she has to use her right.......seamanab x

Answer 3

If she is a lefty, that's great.  If you write with your left hand you can get a scholarship for college.  Its a great perk!

Answer 4

My mom is lefthanded and she is an alcoholic.

Answer 5

Apparently people here think you sukc as a mother and a human being.

It's a good thing you are some kind of alien who entered a human body, doubtless through some kind of spore. Spore-alien-people hybrids can handle the abuse.

you need help lady - you can not be serious- crazy lady

Answer 6

tie her left hand behind her back so that she has to use the right one.  It is completely more expensive to raise a lefty, you have to get those special scissors and now they have those keyboards too...its crazy!  

Answer 7

I feel for you I really do, but not much you can do my love sometimes kids just come out wonky.

Answer 8

Military Boarding School...

Answer 9

Never threaten to get rid of your child.  She looks to you for guidance, safety, support, and many other things.  If she's going to be left handed, so be it.  'Normal' people would not ridicule her.  If you think it would be so easy for her to use her less dominant hand, try it yourself!

Answer 10

that is so cruel.  My daughter is left handed and no one has ever said anything like that to me.  your daughter would be better off with someone who accepts her.

Answer 11

Tell her that if she insists on writing with her left hand, which as we all know is a sign that your babby is clearly the spawn of the devil, that you will show her a picture of a mucous plug over and over and over again until she learns to use the correct hand.  I know that would cure me of anything!!!!

If it's not right, it's not right.

Answer 12

I know a lot of left handed people and they all went to public school and of all the things they were teased about it wasn't being left handed.  I have never heard of a special school for left handers and you sound like you need the school not your child.

Your negativity is what is hurting your kid.  

Accept your child for the wonderful person she is and forget your crappy attitude.

Training her to right handed is telling her she is bad.  She's not she just unique.

Answer 13

It's difficult having children who are "different".  My very own 3 year old child says "foot nails" instead of "toe nails"... so embarrassing.  I can't even hook her to the leash and take her to the salon anymore because all the Korean women laugh at her.  And when foreigners laugh at your child, you know you have a problem.  My prayers are with you and your freak.  Long live Jesus.

Answer 14

Well... I'm a rather intelligent person, so I'm going to assume you're really bored today and are having a little fun. You couldn't possibly be serious. In any case, my 5 yr old girl is left handed and I haven't felt the need to send her away. Keep in mind that left handed people are geniuses. And in this day and age there is no "normal".

Answer 15

Why would you send her away for writing left handed? 9 out of 10 people in my (and my husbands) family are lefty's one of children is a lefty and the other uses her right hand. I'm can write/draw with both hands no problem. It's i think it's genetic and you can't change what hand they favor.

Answer 16

that sucks

u should sue the dr. that delivered her.  i heard that lefties can be caused by a birth defect that could of been prevented.  

Answer 17

i so cannot believe that you tell your daughter that you will send her away if she keeps using her left hand, that is so crazy, here i am trying to see if my child has autism or dyslexia so that i can find out how to help him and your talking about sending your child away because shes a left hand writer, omg, you must not understand what real problems and disabilities are seriously, this is crazy.

Answer 18

you do not have to send her away because of dat?? just tell her dat it is ok to write with dat hands cause dat is da hand that she like to write with....u can not send ur kid away just because she writes with her left hand. I also thinks dat it is unfair to her that u have to do some  thing like that.. Do u think dat it's going to hurt her feelings  

Answer 19

What makes you think she will be ridiculed for writing with her left hand?  This has got to be the stupidest question I have ever heard, getting rid of her for that.  My son is left handed and has NEVER been teased about it.  You need to pull your head out.

Answer 20

That just ain't right. You prolly drank a lot during ur prignannsy right? That why ur babby is defected.

You shuld take her to a doctor and see about surgicly severing teh tendons in her left wrist. Then she can't use that hand. I heard that surgins in China will do any surgery as long as you pay them. It will prolly be fexpensive, but well worth it in the end. Otherwise she will grow up as a freak, ostrichsized by her classmates and homeless people.

Answer 21

Hmmmm, lashings can help.

Yell at her plenty or just tie her left hand behind her back with barbed wire. That should work effectively.

Answer 22

Are you serious?  Being left handed and right handed is no different than being a red head or brunette.  Trying to change the hand they naturally right with can also cause learning delays or disabilities.  Why is it a big deal?  I have never seen or heard of anyone suffering from ridicule because of the hand they use to write with.

Answer 23

Set up a shock device on her left wrist. Any time she picks something up or tries to write with her left hand, give it to her. It might take a few days, but you can train her to be normal...

Answer 24

Just duct-tape her left hand to her thigh. Then she'll walk around looking like Igor. Everybody LOVES Igor!

Answer 25

some people take things just a little too seriously, don't they?

my youngest is a lefty. we have let him back into the family now that he has a job.

money is money even if it comes from the wrong pocket!

just tell her she can come back when she's old enough to work. that should keep her happy the next 14 years at the home.

Answer 26

Aw. Sorry to hear she is a leftie. I hope that she can overcome this awful impediment from whichever Orphanage you send her to.

It's too bad..but as a good mother you gotta do what you gotta do.

Answer 27

On her left hand,.... superglue the thumb to her palm.  

Answer 28

sicko

Answer 29

Dress her up like E.T.

She is 4 so she is right about the same height.

Everybody freaking loved that crazy looking extra-freaking-terrestrial.

*cries*

Answer 30

you need help lady - you can not be serious- crazy lady

Answer 31
