A SIGN OF THE TIMES
Jared is learning to set the table, and while he gets right and left right about 70% of the time, it seems to be harder when deciding where to put the spoons.
I shocked myself by telling him that his right hand is his "mouse hand." Now he grabs the spoons in his "mouse hand" and sets the table no problem.
I learned left and right in kindergarten, and I knew which hand was my right because that's the hand I put over my heart to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Are they allowed to say that anymore in school? And back then, mouses, er... mice, er... whatever the technological plural is, didn't exist.
As NightLine would say, "And that is a sign of the times."

Good idea on how to teach the right hand. I will try that with Kaleb. He is always asking is this my left hand or is this my right foot, ect. He uses his right hand for the mouse and coloring.
