Greetings all.

In our multiethnic Federal Evenstart preschool we have a two-year old Kosovar
child showing marked left handed tendencies. The child's Moslem parents do not
seem prepared to accept this and "correct" her each time she picks up a
crayon.

Please send your opinions, ideas or experience dealing with this issue.

Thank you,
