      Hi mummy2008!

      My suggestion is ask him to bring something,observe which hand is he using.Observe whenever he do something other than studies what hand he is using for.Then decide.
      I heard from one of my friends,her son also using both hand and comfortably.Some people has this talent also.
      I think all children don’t know which hand to use in early years.I also confused with my son.Then my sister suggested the above I mentioned in the beginning of the paragraph.I wait for my son then I decided that he is right hander.

        I am a left-handed myself and so I can know the \"inconvenience\" whenever I am in a group esp wedding dinner! πŸ˜‰ You know - how awkward it is when you have to sit with \"strangers\" πŸ˜‰


        My DD2 is also a left-handed and recently I realise that my 22 month old bb is also too :imcool: . I did not insist that they switch to the right-handed although knowing the \"inconveniences\" it will bring in the future. But as soon as my DD2 started pre-school 3 years ago, I have made it known to the school that she is a left-handed and she might encounter certain problems - like writing will be not \"straight\", etc....But so far so good, she is doing well and she is now in K2.

          I noticed that DS2 might be a left-hander when he first used his left hand to hold his spoon. I just matter of factly, took the spoon from his left hand and transferred it to his right. After a few times, he got the message and learnt to use his right hand. This also applied when he used his left hand to hold a pencil. There was no protests etc cos I didn't make a fuss over it. Other than eating and writing, I'm not bothered which hand he used. However, I do notice that once he's used to holding spoon and pen in his right hand, it become of habit to hold other things with the same hand. I was \"lucky\" to have caught him young cos DH and some of his family members are left-handed and I can see how inconvenient it has been for them including DH. I was really on the look out. :boogie:
