[quote=Anonymous]I have identical twins who are super close.   When they were babies, they slept in separate cribs, but when I put the cribs in different rooms, they cried and cried night after night until I finally decided to put them back in the same room - and they were happy sleepers again.  When we put them in toddler beds and I would go to their room to check on them before going to sleep myself, they would be cuddled together in the same bed. In preschool, they wouldn't make any other friends. They wouldn't talk to other kids. I split them up in pre-K, and after 3 months they started making other friends.  They hated being separated, but they needed to be their own people.  They need to learn how to function without the other as their crutch.  It sounds like your twins are too co-dependent, more than mine are/were.    Some twins are fine in the same class, though. How are they in preschool? Do they separate from each other and play with different groups of friends at least some of the time? Have you talked to their preschool teacher to see what she says?  If they are as co-dependent in school as you say they are at home, then yes, they will have problems in K.  I would separate them now in preschool if you can, it's a much better time to practice being apart, rather than in Kindergarten when school is more serious.  [/quote]
