Publisher's Summary
It's a fact: twins experience life differently than singleton children. They're compared to each other in everything from athletics to academics. They encounter unique social issues (what happens when one child is invited to a social outing while her twin is not?). They can even have difficulty forming deep relationships outside of the twinship. Yet, no book effectively helps parents navigate these unique emotional challenges until now.
In the first book written on the emotional needs of twins, Twinsight: How to Raise Emotionally Healthy Twins bypasses the usual discussions on how to pay for two tuitions (a conundrum, to be sure!) and instead tackles deeper questions: How do you help twins feel like individuals? Should they be expected to be each other's caretaker? How can a parent avoid comparing? How can you encourage relationships outside the twinship? And more!
Drawing on over 70 interviews with adult twins and their non-twin siblings, as well as expert insights from educators and psychologists and exhaustive research, author Dara Lovitz offers parents a definitive roadmap to raising emotionally healthy twins now and into the future.

Lots of Great Insights but Needs More
I really liked how the author took different stories from 80+ sets of twins and triplets to gather data. The big takeaways are a lot of common sense - help your kids to gain independence and develop the best that they can emotionally by giving them opportunities to be alone, encourage relationships with others, and generally just be a parent with empathy and one-on-one time. There were brief tidbits on how to discipline, treat each fairly, balance schedules, handle birthday parties, etc.
I would have loved to hear more on the latter. The application of how to manage day-to-day life with multiples and the seemingly small moments in a day that are often very easy for a singleton family but can feel very tedious and complex for a parent of multiples.
Overall, I would say this is worth the purchase!

Great book for parents of Twins:)
I really enjoyed listening to this book , the voice was actually ok to listen to as I find some books I wont even buy as the voice is brutal .
The book is very helpful , full of different view points of twins themselves . I am able to take what I want from the book and find I remind myself of little parts everyday . Its totally worth it if you have twins .
