When she plays gymnastics outside of the gym she always cartwheels to the right. After Dunno explained the rationale behind this thinking, I do understand it, but somehow my child's body/brain is just so resistant to totally switching over. She is doing "ok" in competitions, but I think she'd do much better if they would just let her do the side she is naturally strong at. I have talked to them about it, and they are completely stubborn and resistant and won't hear anything else. Sigh...
I am left dominant in life (ambidextrous, but everything from writing to throwing a ball and batting look better lefty - even though I am equally proficient both ways).I read a study some time ago that most people that are right handed are also right footed, and left handed are mostly left footed. Right handed/left footed people are also quite common, but the left handed/right footed combination is quite rare (could be due to statistics. If only 10% is left handed, the combination with right foot is automatically rare).
Any advantages disadvantages? (Eg with a one handed cartwheel, you always use the weak arm)
Lol, I still use the "thumb and index finger method" for determining left and right. Hold the index finger up and thumb out and the one that makes an L is left.A rightie I believe. I know that she still struggles with right versus left and if I tell her something is one right of the bookshelf, she instantly goes into her "cartwheel lunge". I guess she knows what direction she is and uses it to help her remember her right from left.
Teaching her to drive should be interesting........
