Re: ADD detail: dominant hand and dominant eye

an ADD child and the skills and tools developed to deal with this health

I am right-handed and left-eyed. Don't know why, but it is so. Whether a
person is right or left-handed is something one can observe. Just tell
him/her to pick up a ball two or three times. Eyes are trickier. An
approach I learned in riflery is: have the youth stand about ten or twenty
feet away from you. Tell the youth to hold both index fingers out in front,
one at arm's length and one at about 12 inches from the face, and to line
them up on your nose, to aim at your nose. You can look back down those
fingers and see which eye is looking at you. I surprised a bunch of kids at
camp over the years, and brought up shooting scores getting that good eye
behind the sights.
