Twin Toddlers Devleopment
Hi all,
I'm hoping for a bit of advice or re-assurance regarding my twins development. Before I start, I know every child has a different development path and I shouldn't compare to others, but being the only couple in my friend groups that have twins, I could do with some reassurance/advice.
My wife and I have twin girls who are 3 years old. To us they're a delight, but not without challenging moments like any child will have. But recently I have been seeing friends who have a singleton children excel past my kids with various things despite a small age gap of a couple of months, which is understandably making me doubt if I'm doing enough for my girls.
We've recently tried them with dance lessons and it went horribly from my point of view. They didn't engage with the teacher and when we tried to get them to follow some of the steps it just resulted in mini meltdowns. It really deflated mine and my wives spirits for these kinds of things as there were kids younger than mine following the teacher. We haven't take them back as we didn't think it was fair on the other kids to miss out on lesson time. I know that's daft, but it's how we felt.
Our childcare situation has changed and it has allowed me to be at home during the week with the girls on a Tuesday and Wednesday, which gives us the option to try different classes, like gymnastics.
I know how this is going to turn out though (like the dancing) and I'm aprehensive about taking them myself.
Have any of you experienced this with your little ones, if so, did you change anything in their routine or try something new with them to get them to engage more? or is this perfectly normal for twins.
Thanks.
