My daughter is showing signs of ambidexterity...She writes with both hands, and dribbles the bball with both. Her teacher who has been teaching for decades has found this to be truly rare by her age of 4.5.
Who out there is ambidextrous? What were the consequences and/or benefits as a young child?
We are not pushing her either way but want to know what to look out for and especially if teachers or grandparents start trying to force one or the other.
My only current concern is that it may take her longer to learn to write since she uses both hands she's learning twice, and she's a perfectionist so that takes longer already!
