I taught my son to use the right hand to write. He uses either the right or the left hand to do other things. But often he writes the mirror image of letters and numbers. Is it because he is actually left handed? How to find if he left or right handed?

It all depends on the age of your child. It is very normal for them to write the letters and numbers backwards when they are first learning. I wouldn't push him using the right hand to write. He should be able to use which ever is more comfortable for him. Next time he draws, let him choose which hand to use and this is probably the hand he is.
