The union between the twins is so strong that they find it difficult to be apart. Is it good that they are together all the time?
When you have twins or twins, it is more practical for parents to carry out all their activities together. Or on the other hand, the bond between the little brothers is so strong, that they find it difficult to be apart. But will it be good for them to be together all the time?
Don’t separate them, experts say
Various studies show that twins who are separated at a very young age have a higher level of anxiety, delayed development and problematic behaviors.
When twins are together when they start school, for example, it is easier for them to adapt to change if they are in the same class, and the separation from the mother could not be less complicated.
There are schools that recommend separating them so that they develop their autonomy as soon as possible. However, this decision is something that concerns parents more than the educational authorities, because no one knows their twins’ behavior better than they do if they are separated.
Twins and twins independence
Every child, whether or not he has a twin, needs to develop his independence and individuality. Being separate will allow them to make their own friends and get to know themselves better.
However, this independence, like that of any other child, will gradually develop. No child is born with a defined personality: it develops as they grow. What is important to understand is that this process cannot be forced.
If your little ones will start school soon or you want to enroll them in an activity, remember to talk with them to find out what they want and how they feel in case they must be separated for some reason.
Remember that your independence and individuality will be given little by little and that it is not necessary to force the situation.
