Left or Right Handed - When Can You Tell?

AlishaMay · October 2010

Since the girls have started to get good at grabbing things with their hands, I've noticed that Maggie tends to reach more often with her right, and Nanny with her left. When can you start to tell which will be their dominate hand?

I don't know what I'll do with Nanny if she ends up a south paw - I am SO right handed! lol

Not until they are starting to write. I work in a preschool and at 3 and 4 some kids still tend to switch hands usually by 4 or 5 they establish hand dominance
