[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father was an identical twin who went by "the twins". It was the greatest psychological barrier he had to overcome in his lifetime. It hindered his development of a separate personality. He wishes his mother had dressed him different from his twin. Regardless of what your twins say they want, its your job to decide what's in their best interest. Differentiating in every way possible is in their best interest. Do what you can to help that happen. Different shoes embroidered names on the back of their shirts, whatever. Give them the best start you can by helping people know who is who.[/quote] Forcing either extreme isn’t the best choice. Allowing the kids to decide what they want, within reason, seems to be the best approach. Forcing haircuts and never allowing them to choose to dress alike seems as terrible as forcing them to look the same. Not sure why this is so difficult to see. [/quote]
