How to Help a Preschooler Adjusting to a New Schedule

- User Submitted

My daughter is three years old and starting preschool in August. I'm concerned about her adjusting to a new schedule more specifically because she's left-handed. Well, hallelujah. I love left-handers. I'm left-handed, so I actually am left-handed. Now, one of the things that I would say is there's nothing to be concerned about in terms of the left-handedness. It maybe, maybe it's adjusting, but, but the other part of it is sometimes our, uh, desks are not made left-hand. So it's, it, again, it's a 3-year-old. I would not be afraid.

It's, it's actually a true thing, but it's kind of upon the right part of the brain.
