a lot of kids learn in early preschool (3), though many kids don’t *reliably* get it till later (plenty of 8+ year-olds in my kids’ karate class still occasionally get it wrong). it’s easiest to teach them when they start writing (generally 3 or so) because you “write” with your “right” hand (or, if you’re left handed, you can teach it’s the other way around). the other way i’ve seen kids taught is if you put your palms down and make your thumbs and forefingers on each hand into the shape of an L, the one that’s a *forwards* L is the one on your Left hand (another method that wouldn’t work with the average 2-year-old).

I felt they were ready for the enviornment of socializing, and school.

and they were!
