Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
You need to observe her activities for some time. Perhaps she is lefty, so prefers using left over right. Or may she is doing some things with right hand ( as she has been taught) and some with left (which she prefers). Watch her playing, that is when you will get the right observation. If you find any thing unusual, make a visit to a neurophysician.
