as a child i never mixed my shoes as to which was right and which was left.i was always perfect ? why ?

it piques my interest as nearly all children mix up and wear their left shoe on their right and vice versa.it actually makes sense to do that i feel due to the design,but i have only mixed my shoes once and i had corrected it myself....i am LEFT handed. Does this mean am i special or just abnormal.by the way i have proof that i never mixed up my footwear up so no arguments that i might be mistaken.

    I know children that mix their shoes, and children that don't. It's just one of many minor variations that goes along with the uniqueness of every child. Some are strongly aware of right and left from the age of about two, some barely grasp it at ten (and some adults still don't have a strong sense!)

    There's nothing special about it, any more than being able to read fluently at three, or do perfect drop-kicks at two (both of which I have observed in totally normal children).

    my kids just put whichever shoe they grab and shove it onto whichever foot they see first. They don't even think about whether or not they're putting it on the correct foot. My three year old will switch them if I tell him he's got them on the wrong feet, and I've tried to explain to him how to tell, but he won't sit still long enough to listen. He also puts his pants on backwards frequently. He just doesn't want to take the time to figure it out, when he's in a hurry to get dressed and go out to play, who has the time to sit and figure out which shoe is supposed to go on which foot. Maybe you just had more patience as a child.

    It just means that you are very good in recognizing shapes and patterns and so all always end up with putting the right things on the right place. It can be due to the gene factor or just as a gift from god. Anyways, enjoy
