Answer

Left-handedness is not considered an abnormality. It's a natural variation in human development, affecting about 10-12% of the population, and is largely determined by genetics and early brain development.

Regarding handwriting, left-handedness itself does not inherently have a negative effect. However, traditional writing tools and desk setups are often designed for right-handed individuals, which can sometimes make it more challenging for left-handed children to achieve neat handwriting without smudging or adopting awkward postures. This is due to the direction of writing in many languages (left-to-right) and the way pens/pencils are held.
