Many school supplies are made with only right-handed writers in mind, leaving lefties to grapple with pens, pencils, notebooks, and more that are uncomfortable and difficult for them to work with. Back-to-school season can be challenging for parents and children for a number of reasons, from getting used to a routine again after weeks of Summer freedom to making sure your kids have everything they need to be successful.
