Lefties - Children not Politics!
Have just re-read this book and had forgotten how good it is. DS1 is now 11 and is completely LH and we couldn't work out why he found cutting bread so hard - now we know
Your Left-handed Child by Lauren Milsom
Sorry if this is advertising but it is really helpful to us righties who have a leftie child.
(Please don't take offence at the term "leftie" but that is how we have always referred to it and it is a term of endearment in our house)

I quite like "south paw" - sounds rather cute and cuddly - more interestingly originated in US baseball. Ballparks were traditionally built with the homeplate on the western corner and so the arm of a left handed pitcher would be closest to the south.

You have a distinct advantage over us. DH and I are both RH. LH comes from late father-in-law and as nobody else is LH some things have been interesting to say the least - ties and shoelaces were a learning curve

Well, I might be wrong here, but it's something like that although you can get left-handed ones they're not allowed to use them as professionals have to play right-handed. Son finds it very difficult but has been told that he has to play as a right-hander. As he hates sports anyway, it's not the end of the world.
