Maybe not the best analogy, but teaching Dvorak is like forcing left-handed child to write with right hand. But maybe it’s other way around. I wouldn’t actively try to teach them anything, but let them learn on their own. At some point they would understand that my laptop keyboard is different from mommy’s and adapt accordingly.
The reason it's not the best analogy is because keyboard layout is not biologically programmed like handedness. If anything, Dvorak being more ergonomic makes it more biologically friendly.
I wouldn’t actively try to teach them anything, but let them learn on their own.
Not to dole out parenting advice, but not influencing your kid concerning a fundamental skill like typing is 1) a mistake, & 2) unavoidable once they start asking questions.
