Cross-dominance

Cross-dominance is when you use different hands or eyes for different activities. It's like being ambidextrous, which means you can use both hands equally well.

For example, if you prefer to write with your left hand but throw a ball with your right hand, or if you look through the telescope with your right eye but aim a camera with your left eye, you are cross-dominant!

Being cross-dominant isn't unusual, and it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. It just means that your brain has learned to use both sides of your body equally. Some people find that being cross-dominant can make them better at certain activities, like playing sports or doing art. So, it's okay to be cross-dominant!
