Teaching cursive to a left handed child

I have a lefty too and she never liked to slant the paper the way the curriculum showed it to be, nor did she hold her pencil the same way. She can write beautifully, although she doesn’t always do it.
I did show her the proper way of doing it but she would always do what felt best to her. And to be honest, although not a lefty, I do what feels right to me also.
