Left-handed children's mental health side Bookmark and Share

Some American experts in psychological treatment of children, child behavior experts and children's education experts, the recent adoption of a new study surprised to discover that are accustomed to using his left hand at the so-called "left-handed," children suffer from psychological imbalance in the proportion who actually children than the average age of about 26 percentage points higher than the number!And show that "mental imbalance" may be a variety of symptoms, including: varying degrees of inferiority,, relatively strong sense of loneliness or sense of loss, unsocial, mild depression, but these negative psychological long-term difficult to overcome if it is easy to cause bed-wetting , insomnia, poor appetite, frequent headaches, poor memory performance anomaly, may also eventually lead to slow mental development, thus making the lower learning ability, at the same time may also affect the body's normal growth and development.

Left-handed children's mental imbalance, to a large extent by the children which are "abnormal" and "environment", or the surrounding "atmosphere" induced.

If the parents usually with "baffled"tone said: "This strange what a good child, he likes to write with his left hand ... ..." If the teachers in public acts of left-handed child to show too much curiosity, even ridiculed, left-handed children ridicule and lack of coordination, not smart, if left-handed children were usually left out in the cold small partners (such as not let them take part in games or sports together), over time the child will most likely produce a that he is "different "a" monster "a sense of, and put their own self-designated as persona non grata" alternative "will be developed into a sense of inferiority, and other psychological difficultiesquickly become addicted, the end of Mental Health will have to be seriously affected.In view of this, experts specifically to parents rationalization proposals put forward are as follows --

△ left-handed only a "customary" First of all, as parents, teachers should be aware of the adult society: the world's population is left-handed high-accounted for about 10%, meaning that every l0 people in a mainly accustomed to doing things left-handed .A survey also confirmed that at 1OO years ago a similar survey, the proportion of left-handed only 7 percent, which means that the proportion of left-hander is still on the increase it!May wish to let children know that: left-hander is just a "habit", so just, so education once they are left-handed find themselves when they do not have to make a fuss, not to self-abased self-pity.

△ not to "duck out shelves," the latest research confirmed that the left-handed brain structure and the general people are different, thus forcing them to switch to the right hand would be tantamount to "duck out shelves", and allow them to plunge into a deeper psychological hardship and more suffering struggle.According to the United States, Harvard Medical School by a pilot and forced the child to use his right hand from the success rate of only 5%, while the remaining 95% falls on the children's psychological shadow hearts is immense, and may even have a negative impact on their lives.

△ told him "great job" such as left-handed children learn to write a character cut out a paper cut flower or an apple, you are much more recognition, "doing great" may be the most appropriate sentence Eulogy.When the children left a strike vote, you should be timely, commented: "look, his left hand and right hand is fully capable of making good the same!"

△ left-handed is not a bad reason to do some parents found their children to write a bad word, the ball is not allowed to vote, or lack of dexterity in hand, it is easy to blame their child's left-handed habits.In the long run the child is often used to put their own failure and his own left-handed practice closely together, landed deep inside the left-handed with their own habits will be more connected to the shadow of thick.Now that this kind of "causal" relationship, there is no scientific reason, then it should be cut off as soon as possible to help children.

△ expand exchanges between the child's left-handed children face a lot of hand because of "habit" with the majority of children are different and when they were left out in the cold at the game or even exclusion, may then gradually "fade out" social circles, there's usually only on the same boat with the small number of partnership, other left-handed children, loneliness, sense of loss and other negative emotions may be intensified followed.In view of this, may wish to have the awareness to guide their children in certain communication skills, and guide their children take the initiative to expand its social face, they will learn to assist children with the general, regardless of you and I to get along.

△ himself told the children the advantages of larger, they can have a conscious to guide them to understand such a truth: Although the human society is composed of right-handed, but left-hander is not inferior - is left-handed because the way in sports and ways of thinking on Compared with the general people have their uniqueness, their competition may have some special advantages.In fact, left-handed players, scientists, politicians everywhere.Think left-handed access to career success, but faces more than the average person more than the challenges.

△ strengthening the protection of covert Objectively speaking, left-handed children in accidents (including falls, hard object was sharp cuts, sports injuries, etc.) than children in general, the possibility of really big (It may be big, at least one times).This is, first, because, left-handed brain structure determine its co-ordination and balance the body less able to right-handed, left-handed children such as one heard the sound (whether from the left or right) will tend to be towards the left side of my head, Precisely because of this, they walk, cycling, skating more prone to fall.Secondly, the environment we live in a variety of supplies are in accordance with the right-handed design for ease of use, left-handed children learn bicycle safety helmets to wear, when the Games take part in anti-skid shoes, but this does not mean that you can not allow their children take part in normal activities.Need to know: It is through the children take part in practical activities to get to protect their safety knowledge, attention to improve the positive awareness of safety and thus to create a positive and healthy state of mind of me!
