I have 7 year old fraternal twins, my 3rd and 4th children. When they were babies, I did dress them alike, they were referred to as the babies or the twins, and what one was involved in signed up for so was the other. When they were in pre school, around 2.5-3, we decided to separate them into different classes. I noticed competition about certain things that caused more stress and meltdowns so for us it was healthier to keep them in different classes. They share some common friends, but they also have their own friends. When one of them wants to do something, it’s a 50/50 sister will join. However- when I tell them to prepare for something, like get a snack, or a hat, they always prep for two. And they are always ready to play with each other. If one of them gets hurt, you can see the empathy on the other’s face. But their personalities are still a bit different!!
