Parenting School Twins and Multiples

Christina Baglivi Tinglof

This book offers real-world advice for when your concerns about your multiples goes beyond "should they dress alike?" The author, a mother of school-aged twins, provides advice for the school years, from the first days of kindergarten to the high school years. She gives some insight into questions such as "Should the twins be placed in the same homeroom at school?", "Is one twin having a harder time making friends than the other?", "Is this healthy competition between the multiples?"

Christina offers proven advice to:

encourage individuality
foster positive sibling relationships
discipline effectively
deal with one child developing faster than the other
manage common speech and reading difficulties
