Loving & Learning with Lefties

I suspected when he was 2 years old that I have a lefty learner and so I went to a workshop by Dari Mullins at the MassHOPE Convention in 2006. It was called “Loving and Learning with Lefties” and it was one lightbulb moment after another!

I finally understood how my hubby functions too :)

It really is amazing just how different the perspective of a “lefty” right-brained person is. I mean really different. For example, I asked my kids to “count backwards”. My completely logical, right-handed dd counted from 10 to 1. My creative little lefty, however, counted from 1 to 10 while walking backwards :) He followed the instruction correctly, but creatively, and this is how it goes most of the time with lefties.

I hope to listen to the CD of the workshop again soon, as well as post my notes from the lecture. Now that ds is starting to learn the alphabet and beginning to write letters, I need a refresher course…
