The correct position is similar to the way right handed people hold it, but almost all left handed people bend their fingers so they face their belly instead of out like right handed people because their teachers didn't know how to show them ( This may be an old stereotype, I don't know but when I was young fingers faced the belly).  In any case, if you are a natural leftie do what feels natural to you and don't listen to anybody then you won't have problems.\nI was forced out of being a leftie.  My son is ambidextrous; he was a leftie, but his piano teacher asked if she could make him use his right hand.  I told her she couldn't make him, but wouldn't mind her letting him use both hands.  My baby seems to use both hands too.  My son uses both hands with his fingers facing out not towards his belly like most right handed people.

that is an old wives tale, its not true.  so, if you are left handed, dont worry about it.

It's a very good question. But it would be even better if you asked other way around. \n\nBecause, people who are left-handed are right. cz left side of the brain controls the muscles and also it is a bit faster than left.\n\nBut if you ask the other way around, that why many of us do it wrong? I really don't know. But can guess that its more cultural thing than anything else.\n\nhttp://www.coolquiz.com/trivia/explain/docs/lefthand.asp

Scissors are specific to the way we hold them. Left-handed people can't cut well using right-handed scissors. Check the Wikipedia article about them.

It is possible to learn ambidexterity, but it is also difficult. \nA naturally left-handed person would hold a pen diferently from one who is naturally right handed.\nWatch a left-hander write and emulate the style, then keep rewriting the alphabet until you have mastered the ability.

on the left hand side

So using the left is okay?

You just have to practice. Start spending a certain amount of time every day copying paragraphs from a book. Take frequent breaks while doing so. When using the computer, use your left hand for the mouse. Practice throwing darts with your left hand (you can get a dart board for really cheap at Wal-Mart and places like that). Brush your hair using only your left hand. Draw pictures with your left hand. These are the things that helped me. I can now write, play sports, and draw with both hands, although my right hand is still stronger, since I only started practicing about a year ago. It takes a lot of time, so don't give up!

My mother says that when I came home from kindergarten one day, I proudly told her what I had learned that day.  Holding up my right hand, I said, "This is my right hand," and holding up my left hand, I said, "And this is my wrong hand."\n\nThey made me learn to use my right hand instead of my left from an early age.  But I still use my left hand if that is what is convenient, and although I never learned to write with my left hand, I can do it [not as well as with the right].\n\nWhen playing pool, this comes in handy, as some shots require contortions if you only use the one hand, so I switch as needed.  Hammering and screwdrivering are also better in some positions with the left hand.  I also tend to cut things on my plate with the right hand, holding the meat or whatever with the left, then put the food in my mouth with the left.\n\nI know a few people who are so right-dominated that they might as well not even have a left hand, it's so useless to them.\n\nIn fact, I have two friends, one righthanded and on lefthanded.  I explained to each of them [separately] about my use of the mouse, which is as follows: it is on the left,  and I use the left hand, but I don't have Windows switch the buttons.  I explain that the left mouse button is still on the left and the right button is on the right regardless of what hand you use to push them.  But they can't understand this and can't use the mouse unless, for the righty, she moves the mouse or changes the buttons, and for the lefty, she changes the buttons.  They can't left click with the left hand, even when they are lefthanded....

Tell the teacher to mind her own business and if she tries to force your child to do anything, you will go to her superiors.  There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with someone being ambidextrous. I can write great with either hand, and it has not hurt me one bit. I was nvery fortunate when I was\nlittle, as my mother encouraged me to use both hands.

I use my left AND right hands. I'm ambidextrous, but most times I'll use my right hand to write and my left hand to draw and paint. I think Leonardo DaVinci did the same thing. It's real cool and really freaks people out when I sketch AND write at the same time, especially when I was at school. ;)

I'm a little confused because you didn't say if one hand was better at doing any of these things than the other.  I can write fine with my left hand but I'm MUCH faster with my right.  I can do a lot of things left handed without much of a problem but my right hand works much better so I'm "right handed".   You're not considered truly ambidextrous if you favor one hand for most "precise fine motor skill operations", usually writing (some musical instruments don't count, like violin)  \n\nMixed-handedness is if different hands are better at different tasks.  If you write and sew better with your left hand but brush your teeth and eat better with the right, you might be called "mixed-handed".  But most people would say you were left handed since the fine motor skills were performed better with your left hand. You could call some of these people "ambidextrous with a left preference" (or right preference) \n\nOne 1962 poll found that 2% of people called themselves 'ambidextrous'.  A 1992 survey found only 1% claimed to be.  Many of the people who were polled still favored the left hand.  It is more common for left handed people to have some control over their right hand than vice versa.  They are not considered truly ambidextrous unless they can perform ALL tasks equally with both hands without favoring one over the other.  Everything I've read says this is "very rare".

go to the Doctor thats what they are paid for, i wouldnt ask anyone on here about medical problems! Not to be rude, but unless everyone on yahoo answers has a medical degree then no one knows whats really wrong, so no one can really tell you how to fix it!! what hand is it anyways.. bc u seem to be typing fine!!

A good answer was to lean it to one side.  Just make sure that you are accurate that way.  That's similiar to shooting a pistol sideways.  Some people can do, others can't.  \n\nAnother trick is to hold your index finger along the arrow as your draw it back.  Just make sure that you put your finger back down before you release.

Hold and play with something like a marker pen in your left hand to keep the right hand side of your brain busy (the day dreamy side) so that it doesn't disrupt the analytical left hand side of your brain which is trying to study. Sounds strange I know, but seems to work if you actually give it a chance.

Hi,\n\nThis simply some userinterface ideology.\n\nIF your right handed it is theoretically correct to make the pointer to the left.\n\nIt is because when you right with a pencil, and your using your right hand... Notice the direction of the pencil is pointing.. Yes to the left.\n\nIf your left handed and wishing to change the pointer, you need to goto START/CONTROL PANEL/Mouse\n\nIn that setting, you can indicate that your left handed.\nThe pointer will change
