For instance, try to write with your right hand without securing the paper with your left. <br /><br />Crafts were traditionally thought to be an engagement in objects, and senses, and it was believed that children would best learn from their own senses. This was fundamental in progressive education, early kindergarten, Montessori and Waldorf education. And ignored in recent schooling due pressures from no child left behind legislation.Doug Stowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003845322415622289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34011427.post-55219692324840386982012-01-22T21:01:06.818-06:002012-01-22T21:01:06.818-06:00This is very interesting and something I've ne...This is very interesting and something I've never really thought about but it makes sense. I've often thought of craft time in early evidence that we are starting children in school too early and they are just trying to find something to fill the time. Maybe there is value to it after all. After reading this I would like to see a study of the thought process of people who are forced to be abidextrous, e.g. pianists, to the norm who are hand-dominant.Tonyhttp://www.beat-unemployment.comnoreply@blogger.com
