My nearly-four son does not seem to prefer either. He will throw, eat, reach with either hand apparently at whim. I've heard that if handedness doesn't emerge spontaneously by age four, one or the other should be forced. Otherwise you wind up with a kid who's equally klutzy with both hands. Anyone have any knowledge/experience with this? -- ______ Russ Herman / \ {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!aesat!rwh @( ? ? )@ ( || ) The opinions above are strictly personal, and ( \__/ ) do not reflect those of my employer (or even \____/ possibly myself an hour from now.)
