I have 3DCs, and my youngest (3) is left handed, we always thought she was left handed but she occasionally switched to the right but in the last 3-4 months its only been her left hand shes using.

Sometimes when shes eating with a spoon or fork its looks awkward for her, difficult to explain and also if shes using scissors.

I dont want to intervene or anything like that and im assuming i just leave her to it?

Leave her to it.
Look out for left handed scissors, pens etc for her to own as an option as she might find it easier for certain tasks.

My son started out left handed aged 2 but, by age 6 , he was using his right hand. He's a brilliant left footed footballer now. Your little ine will be just fine 🙂

I second looking for some left handed scissors if she’s struggling. Otherwise carry on.

Left handed scissors.
I am left handed but, luckily, can use right handed scissors. My son absolutely cannot. He needs left handed ones.
Your child may need help with paper placement when writing. If they copy a rh person they may just end up with smudges.
