Thanks everyone. I feel a bit better now.
yes the scissors we are working on. His Kinder teacher sent home a pairo f scissors that are spring loaded and supposedly dual hand, but the paper just slides between the blades? So I mgiht just buy some left handed scissors myself and try those. He is getting better though so its a good sign and he is starting to try to hold the pencil/crayone the right way on his own with less frustration.

I worry about him having LH scissors or anything "different" at school though..I know how kids are..
