The problem of lefthandedness confronts parents, kindergarten teachers, class teachers, therapeutic eurythmists, and doctors. If the changeover to righthandedness, especially for writing, is to be attempted, one needs to find an individual solution for each child.

He provided important insights for recognizing qualitative differences between the right and left in the human form and in space. Through the multifaceted variety of explanations, educators are able to learn about the many different levels inherent in this problem.
