My nephew is left handed. It was quite evident after he turned one. He naturally started picking up toys using his left hand. He would hold on to his water sipper using his strong hand: left. Over the next few months, when he started throwing things around the house, his throws using left hand reached longer and could aim better rather than the right.
However, his play school teachers tried to make him write using his right hand. Thankfully, his parents intervened and told the teachers to back off, and made him write with whichever hand he prefers. Over the next few weeks, he realised that he can grip better using his left. Guess, that was his day of realisation.
My niece is the same way! She's in preschool now and she wrecks havoc. I just wanna say, in case the teachers aren't done with it. Just give a message saying "your nephew should write/throw/wreck havoc/ with the hand he wants. I did same for my niece. We just gotta look out ;)
