When did you know your kid was a lefty and was it super obvious? My 2.5 year old definitely uses both hands but seems to use her left more for harder tasks (like scooping, coloring)

I started to question it at probably six months old and it was super obvious when she started coloring. She has always used her left hand for everything.

Mine is 2.5 and he uses the left for most things. Throwing a ball, holding a spoon, and coloring. Every now and then I see him coloring with the right hand but I think it’s normal for them to switch back and forth at this age. I noticed he favored the left hand from about 12 months

Both my kids are lefties. Within the first year it was obvious because they used their left hands for eating, coloring, etc. While they’d use both hands for playing and can do most stuff with either hand they tend to favour their left.

I have 2 lefties in my family. Have the child sit at table put papers and one crayon placed directly in front of her. Place the crayon on the table and see which hand goes to the crayon. They do this in elementary schools.

My middle son uses both hands. Left hand for writing and golfing but rightie for baseball and fishing

I thought my son was a leftie as he seemed to strongly favor it, but when he started kinder he switched to the right without anyone pushing him 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have twins and the lefty seemed to use both. We weren’t completely sure until he started writing and in the early days he would sometimes write with his right hand so we weren’t 100% sure until kindergarten where there was so much writing and he consistently used his left hand.

Ok I thought this was a cute quirk of my son but apparently it’s an integration issue caused by the kid not doing some level of sensory integration. Check out the sensory project on Instagram.

ATNR reflex. Just looked it up

I have to remind my lefty (also 2.5) to use her other hand. Once she was coloring and needed dexterity she favored her left hand

Just noticed over time that it was his preference. My mom probably noticed first actually...she's a lefty, so gets really excited about her lefty grandkids. I definitely think it becomes more prominent when they start coloring or throwing a ball. Just let them do what they do, and it will become obvious over time.

I was initially a lefty, but practiced switching to my right when I was a toddler and I'm glad for it. Nothing wrong with lefties, but everything is designed for righties

My daughter is almost 4, and I still can’t tell. Every time I ask her, her preference changes. So I just told her teachers to help her write and use scissors with her right hand, and she can choose for all other tasks. My brother was the same way.

Probably around 18 mos to 2 yrs. To be fair I was looking for or because I'm a lefty

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment.

I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

How did you tell your manager you’re pregnant? Did it affect pay/promos? And then, subsequently, how did you start letting colleagues know you’re pregnant? Feels awkward to just randomly drop the news in a meeting! I work remotely so it’s hard to tell by video :) I’m 21 weeks and feel like I’ve waited as long as I can to at least notify my manager. I was waiting to negotiate my salary for next year but per company trend that doesn’t get set until January (manager reviews are written in Dec).

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.
