Rhino and Astro ... guys come on those comments are in no way helpful or even worth posting. Becoming a parent is a crazy thing and it's a huge change. A lot of people are ignorant to what to do and what not to do. This guy came here to ask an honest question so let's not flame him for that. Growing up I was right handed.…
Break his fingers if he tries to draw with anything other then his toes. Seriously it doesn't matter, no, really it doesn't. My brother tried this "be right handed" stuff with my nephews. Try as he might the youngest picked left and the oldest (11) is ambidextrous. He never favored one or the other and practices writing…
[ QUOTE ] Now I'm no father and can't tell anyone about raising a child. However, I'll say I never see any plan to "shape" kids turn out to be a great success. When parents decide they want the kid to be a football star or great artist or whatever... tends to backlash. I think the greatest thing you can do as a parent is…
You should take into consideration, the ability to register at polycount is no gauge of creative ability. For all you know all the best artists here are left handed, but the poll would not indicate that.

If anything encourage the children to be losers so they rebel and do something with their…
For those to took me seriously and helped me understand THANK YOU. for the rest of you who did not read the part about not needing any snide remarks, you can go f...well i will be polite. I never felt i wanted to force him to do anything. I was not going to ever skold him or anything...was just going to hand the pincil to…
I dont mean to be off topic, but forcing the kid to do art is'nt going to make him like it. Expose him to it, but choosing the hand he uses is totally fucking ridiculous. My mom tried to get me to be a singer, and guess what, I was'nt in control so I dropped it. I'm capable, but I hate it to death because of the seed she…
Blankslatejoe, I think you are right! I was looking at this page: http://www.web-us.com/brain/LRBrain.html Its opened my eyes to a different understanding. after reading the differences between the halves of the brain. I realize that no matter which hand you use, you still use different parts of your brain to process…
listen to your wife. if I were you, i'd do art with the kid around. show him what's possible. just be an inspiration. then hand him a box of crayons and paper, a pencil set, maybe some paint. let him make his own choice. if over the years he shows an interest in learning from you, show him all you know. never make it a…
