Seeking Advice on Ambidexterity or Left-handedness
My 5 year old son seems to be ambidextrous. He will eat with his left hand and then with his right, and behaves similarly when coloring, throwing balls, etc. The literature indicates most kids show a preference by the age of 5. An occupational therapist told me we should choose a preference and then reinforce it through therapy. That doesn't sit well with me. Any advice, alternative therapies, or literature someone can point me to would be appreciated.
