Hiya my twins are 20 mnths old. They get on well most of the time but when they are tired they fight. I normaly sit down with them and try and get them to play with each other.

hi,rosy my 2 are a few months older than your twins their nearly 26 months just wanted to say mine are the same with the biting and hair pulling all you can do is like the last lady said give good attention the the poor twin thats been bitten.your probably doing that already though it can be a bit of a nightmare at times you turn your back for a minute and their at each other.i'm just hoping with time they'll grow out of it but they seem to be at their worst when bored or tired so i spend as much time as possible outside going for walks or in our garden playing.they love playing together inbetween all the fighting they hug and kiss each other all the time and hold hands which is very sweet my ds shouts his sisters name when he wants her and their always laughing at each other and they copy everything that the other one does and they have to have everything the same or they throw a fit oh well they'll be at nursery next year.xxx

hi rosey, my twinsare 16 months, and fighting can be bad, pushing kicking not had any bitting yet, it seems to be only when they are tired, hungry or teething tho. when they od this i show attention to the one that didnt start it and ignore the other one do they play together or laugh at each other? my ds is currently laughing as dd has a potty on her head (clean potty!) just wondered that another 5 months how they are when they are happy with each other?

My 2 are 21 mths old and cannot stand to be in the same room as each other.They want the same toys/floor space etc and will kick, bite and hit each other to get what they want. I have put the offending twin in an empty playpen or their cots depnding on where we are in the house, and say 'No biting' etc, mimimal talk as suggested on parenting mags but this has been unsuccessful. Any advice gratefully recieved.Thanks in advance.






Thanks guys for your advice. I have tried giving the other twin more attention, and sat down to play too. Hopefully this phase will be short lived, fingers doubley crossed.
