I think Children use their early days to discover what falls naturally for them. They plays with toys, hammer wooden nails in holes, throw balls and other stuff before any rule of left or right is discovered. And I think it's during this time that children find what falls naturally for them and then continue to evolve their abilities with the hand they feel more comfortable using.
Just a theory. |
If it were always true we would have more L-handed and X-handed people for sure
In many instances, teachers actually show how to hold a pen/pencil for the first time using their right hand.
As you know, the brain of a child is "wet cement" so to speak, and that simple action has quite an impression.
I've also seen teachers correct students using their left hand, and that ia such an imposition !
