Eleanor and Miranda have become newly interested in using the computer, specifically to play the games on Noggin. These games are all mouse-oriented, and require moving the mouse, left-clicking, and in some cases, dragging and dropping. Eleanor has an easier time with it, partially because Miranda keeps on clicking the right mouse button. The mouse that we have is also curved to fit a right hand more naturally.
For people who have small children who are left-handed, have you found it it to be any easier for your kid when you’ve switched to a mouse that is built for both hands? Is it worth swapping the function of the left and right mouse buttons? Does a smaller travel mouse work better?
I’m sure that Miranda will figure things out with practice, but she gets a little frustrated, and Eleanor is always trying to show her how to do things.
