Parenting twins is a difficult and joyous experience, no matter how old your twins are. Of course, young twins present different issues than school age twins and teenage twins. Even adult twins need to get comfort and advice from their parents, which can be related to fighting and stress between each other. Learning to parent your twins is a valuable tool for both the parents and the twin children. After 40 years of writing and consulting with twins and their parents I have concluded what is most essential about raising twins to be individuals and also get along as twins and as friends.
    The purpose of this group is to teach through interaction with other parents and caregivers of twins how to develop individuality and resolve separation anxiety, fighting and competition between twins at all ages. Language acquisition issues, meeting new friends and finding special interests will be discussed and referred to in the readings for this group. Questions that parents have about how to solve their own problems with their twins will be answered in every meeting.
    Groups will meet once a week on Zoom. Attendance at each group and arriving on time are crucial. Readings are optional but highly suggested. Please email me at drbarbaraklein@gmail.com or call me at 310-592-5507 if you are interested.
