@ashleychantay: Currently accepting advice from actual twins, identical or fraternal, parents of twins, educators, and anyone with any helpful insight. 🥺 #identicaltwins #separation #besties #school #fyp
You gota do it babe. Twins get weird in adulthood without their own identity. Hell look at the Claremont twins. Is only a few hours five days a week.

Twin here 🤚🏼 We were separated in first grade as well. This allowed us to develop our own identities. We even had our own separate group of friends. This was hard for us at first, but I don’t regret it at all.

shower together? I think separate classrooms is a great idea. I would start now having them do things on their own. autonomy is a good.

If you don’t separate them you’ll have to worry about littermate syndrome.

High school teacher here… we have twins who had never been separated one sister failed her math class and the other one purposely failed because she didn’t want to be in a different math level without her sister. They are so dependent on each other it’s not healthy.

Tia :
I am a twin. My brother and I were also separated in first grade because we were too dependent on each other and not socializing as much with other chikdren in the classroom. I am now a School Psychologist and strongly recommend that twins are separated. They need their own friends and experiences in school. It will not be detrimental to their relationship with each other.

Hey twin mom here. I separated my girls in kindergarten. It’s hard but one will always be in the shadow of the other. Definitely for the best! They need time alone to develop their own personalities! Make their own friends! It’s just us girl they’ll love it and will have more to talk about!!

I cannot stand parents who treat their identical twins like one person. why tf would you dress them exactly the same, have them do EVERYTHING together? it's crazy

Teresa Rosales :
As a teacher I’ve seen every twin set do so much better separated. They make friends, learn independence, and it has made it easier to catch any delays that the other twin was covering for

Twin here. Please please do it. Allow them to grow into their own people. They’ll see each other at lunch time and recess and of course at home. Please do it

the only reason you should be upset is if they are conjoined

1st grade twin mama. Let them separate. Allow them to experience the world through 2 separate lens and share their lens with one another.

They are not just twins. They are separate people and need the opportunity to develop as such. They will still be together at home.

Best thing for them. They are 2 kids not one. Mommy has dressed them identically and treated them identically. Time their individual personalities are allowed to shine.

twin here, people only ever saw us as one "the twins" ... I wasn't allowed a coat I loved coz there wasn't one for my sister. I'm 54 now and still remember it to this day. The twins this, the girls that. let them have their independence.

Jessica Nightingale :
They might be twins, but they deserve a chance at healthy individuality. Everything you listed is precisely why they need separation in class so they can develop as interdependent, not codependent.

This is good for them. 🥰 twins get weird if they can’t develop themselves seperately

Jane :
twin here who didn’t get separated until 3rd grade, PLEASE separate them in 1st grade. We had a hard time developing social skills and making friends because we were reliant on each other (which consequently led to having an individuality complex in later years)
