2 lefties in one family is this normal

I am a mom to 4 kids, two happen to be lefties, I don't mind it at all, but my family members are always telling me to try to get them to change hand prefrences. My two daughters aren't treated any differently, and now they are at ages where hand prefrence isn't to choose from anymore.

The one thing I never understood is why the two are left handed, I always thought that only one child would be left handed if any.
