IN REPLY TO: uses both right and left hand
AUTHOR: oliviasgramma
It is A-O-K that she does that ! My son did that, and the daycare (against my wishes) made him choose a hand to write with. He is 7 and still goes back and forth between the hands. I think it is great ! His writing with both are great, and I think that just makes it easier for him. He broke his right arm ( that is the hand he was made to write with) and he was able to continue his school work with his left hand.

She will choose a hand, just let her make up her mind which one she wants, and make sure she knows its ok to use both. Don't let someone choose for her.

Hopes it helps, let me know how she is doing
