Boy Girl twins and academics

[Anonymous]

I'm most interested in hearing from parents of elementary aged twins but older would be interesting too.

I'm just wondering if you have boy girl twins, if the girl is stronger academically?

As a twin myself, what an insulting question. Let your twins just be who they are, stop comparing them.

Mom of boy girl twins, now in college.
Honestly, you need to think of your kids as though they are just like any other brother and sister, that just happened to be born on the same day. They are going to have the same mix of similarities and differences, strengths and weaknesses, as any brother and sister born separately. You need to really internalize this, and also instill this in your children, and other family members.
