I had given up finding books that pertains to raising twins in the bookstore ... they're all for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, which basically has nothing to do with issues that I face with my twins, even at the same age. The books I've found dealt with surface issues such as how to handle sleeping arrangements, bottle-feeding/breast-feeding and so on. Those books rarely talked about prematurity issues, when one has a disability and the other one doesn't and about preschool issues, such as developmental delays and so on. I didn't expect to find any other resource on raising twins after infancy till I heard this one mentioned in another book club.It is with great apprehension that I picked this book up and I wish I had read this book when my twins were 3! My husband and I had gone back and forth about whether or not to separate them in two different classrooms and whether or not to keep them together or how to deal with certain issues that developmental delays bring. (No, she does not address that issue in here, but a lot of the issues she does address pertain to classroom separation ...) This book has brought a great sense of relief for this mom!Here is a sampling of the issues she covers in this book: Understanding the Intratwin Relationship Developing Identity and Promoting Individuality Double Discipline (always helpful!) Multiples and EducationAnd more.This is a book that I will not give up till my sons have their own children. It may be outdated by then, but I can assure you that the practical tips that the parents interviewed by Tinglof will still remain common sensical. Maybe you don't need this book, but if you're one of those parents of multiples trying to make sure you're making the right choices, this book is definitely for you. It might just enlighten your way or perhaps give you a different perspective ... whatever it is, it is just a practical book. A keeper.8/23/08
This book fills a gap in the books available on parenting multiples. While there are many books on pre-school and younger twins, there's been a need for a good practical book on school-age multiples. My twin daughters are 13 and I wish this book had been around when they were 5!I'd recommend this to anyone who has children who are starting school soon or who has specific issues that they'd like to learn more about. It's full of good advice and a very quick read.
I purchased this book because my triplet nieces moved in with me after some family issues, I did not have a lot of experience with multiples, so this book was extremely helpful in how to deal with some potential issues that may arise.
I haven't been able to find too many books out on multiples after the infant years. This book deals with multiples as they enter and attend school. This was some good insight from other parents that have had multiples on issues they ran into and how they dealt with those issues. I enjoyed the book and plan on having my wife and the twins grandparents read it as well. I feel it will provide the grandparents with a good reminder on not comparing your multiples as well as other good insights.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this volume cover to cover and taking notes as I went. Having made it to third grade, my resources were running thin. So glad to have the additional guidance needed for my almost 9 yr olds!Fantastic job!
This is one of two books by Christina Baglivi Tinglof that I have read and loved it just as much as Double Duty! Deciding on your children's education is so important, not just picking out which school but also how your twins or multiples will handle situations. My husband and I have been working on enrolling our twin girls into full-time school and make the decision to keep them together or not has been a challenge. This book is helping us make a decision based on our children's personalities and needs. Any parent faced with the tough decision should read this book today!Tonia TomlinAuthor of Chaos 2 Calm[...]
