What Parents Want to Know (and What Twins Want to Tell Them)
by Eileen M. Pearlman, Ph.D. and Jill Alison Ganon
Published by HarperResource
Applying a developmental approach to understanding parenting of twins and higher order multiples, identical twin Dr. Eileen Pearlman and Los Angeles writer Jill Alison Ganon provide insightful advice and thoughtful discussion of twins-specific issues.
Offering tips, personal stories and innovative "twin talk" sections with conversations with eight sets of twins ranging in age from 5 to 21 years, "Raising Twins" is a friendly reference book for parents and their children.
The authors note their book is topic-driven, carefully considering the influence multiple children have upon a family. Chapters cover the development of twins from before birth through their teenage years, detailing physical, emotional and cognitive development issues.
Many parents may want to keep this book handy for many years of reference value. Includes resource guide.
