I found 2 of the above articles which say ambidextrous may be bad. Where as the wikipedia says this can be an advatage in sports etc and doesn't say anything about any kind of problems.
Now my DD is three years and 3 months old. Her doctor also says she might have dominant hand by the time she is 4 or 5. She also said most children have a dominant hand by the time they are 2 years old.
I have often wondered why we in the gifted community pick up on the changes more than the average child's parents and I think it might do with the fact that our children are doing such advanced stuff at such an early age. BTW: I monitored my DD after reading that article and it was true. Every major milestone she completed she would switch hand preference. And my DD was writing before she was a year old so it was very noticeable when she made that switch.
I agree...Most children don't write at this age so difficult to tell if they use both hands.
