A. Hi, There's no set age as to when child show a preference, some 18 month olds use one hand consistently, others not until they are 3 or 4 years old. Signs of left handedness to look out for include: Which hand your child uses to hold a spoon when eating. which foot do they prefer to kick with which hand do they use to hold a crayon or pencil when standing on one leg which leg do they feel more secure on? left handers may find it easier to stand on their left leg.

Father of a 2 yr 4 m old boy

Q. Hi there, My son is 2.3 years old. We are seeing that his left hand is more active than his right, i.e seems his dominating hand is the left hand. We are a bit concerned since me and my wife are right handed and during his initial days of schooling, it could be challenging because of that. We also don't want to force him to become right-handed. Now my question is - Is there a way to make him aware about his dominating hand? or it's a natural attribute? If he likes to use his left hand rather than his right hand, any specific things that I should take care of?
