I am also left handed and I agree with what everyone said about doing some things left handed and some things right handed. When teaching your child you should let them try both hands and see which feels more natural. That's what I had to do when trying a new sport for the first time.
I write left handed. I can eat with both hands. I use scissors and the mouse with my right hand. Brush teeth with my left. Bat left but throw right. It's all mixed up.
I have a funny story about teaching being left handed though, so once I was teaching my class how to paint with a special brush that you have to hold a certain way. And the kids said "what?! we have to do that with our left hand?!" So now I always say I am left handed so I use my left hand. But if you are right handed, use your right hand! I think you could just teach your child with your right hand and they could follow with their left.
