Why are children left handed?

Handedness is caused by the dominance of one cerebral hemisphere over the other. Dominant right hemispheres cause left handedness (each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body to the side it is on, since the nerves cross over). The exact reason why one hemisphere is dominant rather than the other, remains unknown. Quite possibly it is just an accident of fetal development.

How does handedness impact the development of fine motor skills in children?

Handedness, or the preference for using one hand over the other, can impact the development of fine motor skills in children. Research suggests that left-handed children may face challenges in developing fine motor skills compared to right-handed children. This is because many tools and activities are designed for right-handed individuals, which can make it harder for left-handed children to develop their fine motor skills. However, with practice and support, left-handed children can still develop strong fine motor skills.
