I think this would be a valuable book for those expecting twins or with very young twins. Though the book does go through the school years, it really just touches upon the first school years (and does have helpful advice for those, like whether twins should be placed in the same class or not), but wasn't really helpfully to me with middle school aged twins.
I really enjoyed this book! It was full of helpful tips and I feel like I really learned a lot from it. I am not a parent of twins, however, I have recently taken a job as a nanny of 4.5 month old fraternal twin boys. I feel that this book was still extremely beneficial for me as a full time (40 hours/week) caregiver for twins.
This is a bestselling book and was recently updated in May 2009. In addition to Christina offering advice and practical strategies for coping with the challenges that with pregnant with and raising twins that parents of twins face, she has also include some wonderful tips from other couples with twins
Although the author endorses some parenting philosophies I don't agree with, over-all I found it helpful.
some good advice, but after two books I think I am learning that MOST of what I learn will be on the job :>)
This seemed helpful but who knows. Ask me again in a few months after the twins arrive :-)
Some good advice, not a must read, though.
