I still cannot cut paper properly, and it took decades for the 'hook' in my wrist to go away when I write.

I gently would move the pencil to my son's right hand when he picked things up with his left as a toddler. No need for him to go through what I did.
That can backfire if you're not careful.

When I was learning to use a spoon, my mom would hand me the spoon in my right hand and I would immediately shift it to my left hand to eat. My dad would quickly grab it from me and put it back into my right hand, which had the same result of me putting it in my left hand. After he took it away a couple more times, I apparently got frustrated and threw it at him. The only learning that took place was him learning to leave me alone when I was trying to eat.

Coming from a sports, particularly baseball, family, I find the forced right handed stuff funny. It was entirely opposite for me growing up. My brother is already doing it for his kids lol.
