ambidextrousness

[funkychicken]

can you teach yourself to be ambidextrous? I think I'm doing quite well....

[Buddy]

Its not natural but yes.My Nannie - who has sadly passed on - was educated in a wee country school and every time she wrote with her left hand she got skelped with the ruler until she accomplished writing with her right hand.Apparently it was the mark of something satanic if you were left handed.My ex - a couple of generations later was also educated in a rural school and received the same treatment as he also was left handed and this was now the sixties.

So to answer your original question - if you get skelped often enough you can achieve almost anything but your brain still thinks its left handed per sae.They both ended up very intelligent so perhaps they developed the other side of the brain I dont know really and I guess someone will be able to enlighten.

hmm im not too sure but i used to always try. it didnt work very well though. i practised writing the word cold with my left hand. thats all i could do!

my grandson is left handed and cannot write with his right, but he can kick a football with both feet equally well, and he is very good at that.

I think it's more of a challenge for those wishing to be able to write with both hands - me being one of them!

I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous
