I agree.  Have you been working a lot at home?  My son is also this way and he is 5.  Just set the pencil or whatever on the table and let him decide which hand to use.  I do agree as well that this should not be causing any problems at school.

It is perfectly normal for ALL kids to be ambidextrous (using both hands) through 5 years. It shouldn't be something that causes further problems in school, though.

Hope this helps!
