My father is left-handed, but his parents told him to use chopsticks with his right hand when he was little. He still holds his chopsticks awkwardly because of it.
こんにちは!
ご連絡ありがとうございます。
『箸を持つのは小さい時に右に直されたので、持ち方が未だに変です。』は、いくつか言い方が考えられますが、例えば、
My father is left-handed, but his parents told him to use chopsticks with his right hand when he was little. He still holds his chopsticks awkwardly because of it.
とすると、『父は左利きですが、小さいころ箸を右手で使うように両親に言われました。そのため父は今でもぎこちなく箸を持ちます。』と言えます。
tell someone to で、『人に~するように言う・命じる・忠告する』と言えるので、『なおされた』というニュアンスを伝えられます。
参考になれば幸いです。
