A Handbook for Parents of Multiples
by Herbert L. Collier, Ph.D.
Published by Twins™ Magazine
Dr. Herbert Collier, a psychologist and father of twins, is a frequent contributor to national publications regarding twin relationships and parenting multiples.
The Psychology of Twins, first published in 1972 and recently revised, is considered as one of the standard guides to twin relationships. It is full of practical advice and insight, in part owing to Dr. Collier's personal experiences in raising his twin children. From his experience, Dr. Collier reports that twins do differ from singletons and, just as importantly, from each other.
Included in this fascinating study are chapters on the stages of childhood and what to expect from twins from birth to ten years of age, what to expect in family dynamics through interaction with spouses and other children, and how to meet the emotional needs and growth of twins.
Dr. Collier also considers preschool and school-age issues for twin children, such as fighting, bedtime and the question of whether to keep twins together in school or to separate them.
This is an ideal book for the parent who wants to understand and value each child as an individual.
