Twins have been hard for me. 16 mos was definitely peak toddler insanity for mine. Finally got easier around 2.5 years but…. I also agree, kids are different in a million ways so the frustration thing probably isn’t strictly speaking twin-related, but the twin thing certainly intensifies everything on the parenting side.

Try learning asl sign language with them! I did this with baby twins and then again with the one who had more difficulties speaking. It’s fun and helpful

My singletons started tantrums early on, 14 months. She's just a sensitive kid, way more aware of the environment and sensitive to hunger/tiredness than my second kid. It's personality, not your inability to meet their needs. In fact I would have assumed that twins get better at waiting because they're not used to having needs met immediately.

Immediately catering to needs makes more tantrums, not less! In the long run.

Are they capable of communicating? My kids got frustrated when their mouths couldn’t keep up with their brains.

Kids are different, this probably isn’t twin-related.

If you have twins, did they often get frustrated? My twins are 16mo and they are already having temper tantrums which is WAY earlier than my singleton. For my first, I was able to immediately cater to her needs and these two have to wait which I worry is having an ill effect on them now. Anyone btdt?
