Jealousy/Sharing
I have 18 mnth old twin girls. We are encountering two issues. First,
one of our daughters seems to be jealous of ur other daughter. When we hug her she will come up and try to wedge her way in. We try to give them both the same amount of time and attention. The other is that they fight over everything! One daughter will ake a toy or pacifier or blankie away from the other. Any suggestions? At what age are time-outs appropriate? Any good books that deal with this kind of stuff? |

Jealousy/Sharing
Sorry I can't help much. My twins are 14 months old, and while they've
been taking toys from each other for some time, they're only recently getting upset with each other about it. For now, redirecting them to a different toy is working for us, but that can't last as I'm sure you'll tell me. I'm interested to see what experienced parents have to say. I am in the middle of reading the book Raising Twins by Eileen M Pearlman and Jill Alison Ganon that may be helpful. According to what I've been reading, it sounds like your twins are learning about their sense of self and what's "mine". As far as one being jealous of the other's time with you, I've found that sometimes one of my twins needs more of my attention than the other, so I give it to him. Next week, his sister is the one who needs more attention, so it evens out in the end. I think their needy time passes quicker when I give in to it. The days when they both need more attention are the days I'm really happy to see my husband come home from work. |

honestly i really like your idea to how you deal with your twins
because i think twins are kids who are more senstive when you got them and the fact that of one them should be feeling might feel that way that way but i think that you treat them is matter of understanding who needs attention at first but is good experience though is only 14 months but for me from you my basket has got few ideas because my are onthe way that's part of my preparation thnx bye AnnRobbi wrote: Sorry I can't help much.
