Hi, everybody. I am Melanie Reposo and welcome to Mommy’s Minute.
If you have twins especially identical twins it is important to make sure they develop their own individual taste and interest because your twins have such a strong bond. It can be difficult to get and to do things without one another. But here are some things you can do to encourage individuality.
For example do not dress your twins identically but try color coordinating instead and when you call your multiples call them by their names and do all refer to their must the twins, and try to use their names in a different order regularly.
Dedicating one on one time with you and each of your twins separately shows them that you appreciate them as individuals and encourages their own separate interest.
Finally, avoid labels call in one twin the artistic one and one the athletic one they make them feel pressure to live up to a certain role if they want to be an individual.
