My son also used to use both hands. Tutor once mentioned it's better to use right hand in long run as most utilities facilitates right-handed person. We force our son to use right hand for eating and painting. So far Ok.
My daughter is now 27mths, she seems to be left-handed too. We do encourage her to use her right hand more but won't force her at all. I guess we'll just let it be.
I am a left-handed. Be honest, I found no problem in using left hand to write and holding chopsticks. However, you need to remind the little one to pay attention to the direction of the stroke in Chinese character as the left-handed tends to write a horizontal stroke from right to left instead of left to right. It posts no problem when using pencil or pen, but is harder to control the stroke if one learns the traditional chinese writing art with "feather pen". My younger son also likes to use left hand since born. Whenever we find him using his left hand to hold a pen, we remind and teach him to use his right hand. Now, he is 3. He only uses his left hand to color and draw when his right hand is tired.
My little girl seems to be a left-handed too, so is it better to ask her to use right hand for Chinese writing? Coz she always use her left hand to draw and hold the spoon, but still not yet start writing.

It is always easy for a little child learn to use either right or left hand. As long as you can make your kid to use right hand with ease and without pressure, I think it is better for him/her to write chinese in right hand because of the emphasis of stroke direction and order in Chinese character. I write chinese stroke in a opposite direction since young and don't realize it until my former boss noticed and told me.
