left-handed daughter

I need advice! I have a 5 year old daughter in kindergarten who is left-handed. She has told me before that she wished she was right-handed like myself, her dad and her 7 year old sister. I try to tell her that God made everyone different, she's special, and many other things. Tonight was different, she was in tears because she is left handed and wants to be like the rest of the family. She sat down and practiced writing for 20 minutes with her right hand. What do I do?? I want her to be happy, but I can't make her see that it's ok to be different.

Dominate Eye

I am left handed when playing sports but I write right handed.  My issue is that my right eye is my dominate eye and when I play darts I throw left handed and try to line up with my left eye.  Also, for some reason I cannot close my right eye and keep my left eye open.  Any thoughts on how to aim when playing darts?

I have a unique question.

I know of an older gentleman that has just learned he is really left-handed but has been taught right handed all his life. Things that he does without thinking he does left-handed. This has dramatically affected his whole life learning or not learning to read and write. At this stage in life how does he go about waking up his right brain and start to relearn. Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Any books on this particular subject? Thanks
