RE: Teaching a Child Their Left From Right
You know I am 56 yrs old and never knew this till a couple of years ago. What an easy thing to know. Guess I didn't have good teachers when I was in Kindergarten lol.

RE: Teaching a Child Their Left From Right
i taught my 4 year old how to put his shoes on the right feet by putting them together if it makes "a big V" its the wrong way and "a littl v" is the right way!! It works for me now when he comes to me and says is this the right foot all I have to say is it a BIG V or a little v .........

This works only if the child is NOT dyslexic or they are able to read fluently. If they are in a pre-reading stage pre-K to first grade than they are still learning which way an L faces. Most of my Kindergarten students are still learning which direction their letters face.
I usually tell them their right hand is the one we hold our pencil or scissors with. Unless they are left handed which I know to tell them, this works for all my students.
We do play lots of games to demonstrate with is the Right and Left hand.

This is GREAT!! thanks for the tip.
Do you have a tip to explain why when standing face to face with some one the left and right hand is opposite of your own. This always confused me and made it difficult to remember what side of a piece of paper is left and right. Can you add something for this? thanks!!

This is simply brilliant. Uncommon common sense.
