Do Twins Really Need to Share?

How to help twins share?

Let’s be honest… we want twins to share.

Sharing is kind, and we want them to care about each other and get along, without fighting…

But… here is the thing… Sharing isn’t always possible, nor should it be expected all the time.

There is so much that goes into sharing, especially with twins, that can support and promote their socio-emotional skills, identity development, and self-esteem.

I sat down with Ruth from Play Schemas to talk about how we can help twin parents navigate the challenging subject of sharing, in episode 41 of the “Demystifying Child's Play” podcast.

We discussed the reasons sharing is hard to begin with, how to support twins when they DON'T want or need to share, and how to foster their socio-emotional skills as they develop empathy and understanding of others' needs and feelings.
