[quote=Anonymous]I have 8-year-old year identical twin girls. They were born with TTTS and about 2.5 pounds apart. As they’ve aged the size difference has increased. O is the smaller twin. She’s very petite and cute and gets lots of attention from adults and peers. She’s about the size of a child 2-3 younger. She requires a high calorie diet and extra medical attention to continue to grow. I is average size for her age. She’s not super tall and an average build and very athletic. I has started restricting food because she sees O get positive attention for being so small. She craves being called tiny and cute and it breaks my heart. She is a perfectly healthy, strong, smart girl but her self confidence is so bad because she does not get that attention. I don’t know how to help her understand she’s so lucky she’s healthy and able bodied. Would you suggest counseling? Individually or with her sister? [/quote]
