| Introduction | So why “lefty parent”? It reflects that creative tension between the politically liberal, left-leaning family and community I grew up in and my own left-handed tendency to not quite fit in the box of a right-handed world. My parents made a decision to raise me outside the conventional parenting “best practices” of the 1950s. For me, the job of being a parent got easier when I took a deep breath, went back to lessons I learned from my parents and my own youth, and chose to go with my gut. |
