Are left-handed babies smarter? I didn’t expect the reliable answer to be like this…

My baby is almost 2 years old. He usually uses his left hand when playing with toys or picking up things, but he uses his right hand when eating. However, I feel that he still uses his left hand relatively more. People who use their left hand are said to be smart. Should I let him eat with his left hand in the future? The answer is of course: No! want! ah! Because when a baby is 1-3 years old, the frequency of using both hands is basically the same. It is about 3-4 years old that the baby will make a choice about which hand to use as the main one. Are left-handers really smarter than right-handers? The decisive organ of whether to use the left hand or the right hand is actually our brain, because the brain is also divided into left and right. People with a dominant left brain generally use their right hand, while people with a developed right brain are left-handed. When our left hand or left foot touches something, the feeling will be sent back to the right brain, and the feeling of our right hand or right foot touching something will be sent back to the left brain. The left and right brains will integrate all the information before issuing commands. The movement commands for the left hand and left foot come from the right brain, while the movement commands for the right hand and right foot come from the left brain. However, left-handers are not smarter than right-handers, because as early as 1933, psychologists at Bucknell University in the United States asked 339 newly admitted male students to take IQ tests. Hand strength test. The research results show that the IQ of these college freshmen is not only not related to the strength of the left and right hands, but also has nothing to do with the ratio of the strength of the two hands. Therefore, whether the baby is left-handed or right-handed, it can actually help the baby\’s brain develop in a balanced way. Why does the baby like to use his left hand? Does it need to be corrected? The causes of left-handedness can be divided into four categories: congenital, acquired, pathological and pseudo-left-handed. Medical research shows that if both parents are left-handed, the chance of their children being left-handed is 50%; if both parents are right-handed, the chance of their children being left-handed is only 2%. This shows that there is a certain relationship between hand preference and genetics. Acquired, pathological, and pseudo-left-handed left-handers are caused by deliberate or forced disease. Xiaokang Jun would like to remind everyone, if you find that your baby is left-handed, do not force the baby to change his hand, let alone force the baby to use his left hand just because of the so-called \”left-handed people are smarter\”! Generally, babies can see their initial tendencies when they are about two years old, and they will be basically finalized when they are three or four years old. This is also a critical period for the baby\’s physical and mental development. If parents force the baby to \”change hands\”, it will not only restrict the freedom of the baby\’s small hands, but also make the baby feel strong pressure, leaving the baby in a sense of frustration and helplessness, which can easily lead to stuttering, nervousness, emotional uneasiness, and lack of concentration. Concentration and other adverse consequences. Being right-handed or left-handed is an innate characteristic, and there is no absolute good or bad distinction in itself. However, we often influence which hand our children use due to social, cultural, psychological and environmental influences. Here I would like to say to all you daddies out there: let go of control, let go of expectations, accept your children, and learn to accept all of your children’s innate advantages.
