> My theory is if any child wants help with fine motor control the help is provided by a left hand to a left hand.
Neither of my parents were left handed, and yet, here I am; despite attempts otherwise I might add.

As for which hand is chosen as a baby, it might be most typical to mirror one's parents, but it doesn't always have to be like that. Some babies may just randomly start doing things with a hand different to the preference of their parents due to not having them or other adults in their sight at critical moments. As for parents trying and failing to stop their kids from using their left hand, they might've just caught it too late.
So, I guess what I'm saying is that both you and GP can be correct.
