Question

No one from either mine or my partners family are left handed but our 2 year old son seems to use his left for drawing & eating.

Answer

My son is 14 months and really favors his left. He can use both, but he seems left handed, even at such a young age.

Pediatric OT here - hand preference can take up to 7 years to develop!
