Parenting Twins
The thought of parenting twins may seem daunting, especially if they are your first born. Certainly a bit more effort is required with raising twins than singletons. But, as most parents of twins will tell you, "You just do it"!Whether this is your first time as a parent, or you have older siblings involved, you will likely have questions about the nature of raising your twins. When they are infants you will probably wonder what to do about feeding and sleeping routines. As they start toddling around, you may question when to start potty training. When they approach the preschool years, thoughts of separate classrooms may enter your mind. And later still, you will perhaps worry about your twins' individuality. We all want happy, healthy children, of course. It is normal to have reservations about your skills when faced with the unique situation of parenting twins. But, keep in mind, once you get through the first year you've likely got it down. And, if issues crop up, there are many wonderful resources available for parents of twins from conception to adulthood. Remember, parenting twins is not an exact science.
