[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would separate them. Especially fraternal twins. There are lots of kids with a close in age sibling a year ahead or behind them.[b] No one will really notice[/b] they are twins unless you make it a big deal. [/quote]

I have boy/girl twins. They get along great. In the early years, they each had their own friend sets and people didn't always know that they were twins. They looked and acted very different. And as they got older, they became friends with each other. They get along great with just the usual bickering of siblings who get along.

But they recently confided to me that even though they don't want to compare themselves to the other twin, that they can't help it. Here is someone who is exactly the same age as them and is a relation. On some level they are always wondering how the other twin did in things that they are both doing.

You can hid that grade difference from others, but the twins will know and will be affected by it.

August is still very young, I would hold both back. Get your son some support and maybe sign your DD up for things that might give her more of a challenge like an instrument or sports. Maybe more opportunities to socialize away from her brother.[/quote]
