6 Tips for Dealing With Twin Sibling Rivalry
4. Encourage healthy competition
Twins compete with each other for your attention, toys and lot of other stuff, but make it healthier in a way that they are happy for each other when one wins.
5. Support their teamwork
Twins have a greater sense of teamwork than other siblings. Nurture this and there will be less room for rivalry.
6. Accept that they are twins and not clones
If one of the twins excels in a field, do not expect the other to follow suit. Help the other child discover his or her own potential before egging the child to the same as his or her twin.
Not everyone can have twins. It is a wonderful experience and if raised well, twins can bring immense joy to your family and to those around you, including feelings of wonder and awe in perfect strangers. Twin sibling rivalry when dealt in the right manner, can turn out to be a healthy positive growing experience.
