Looking for information on adolescent twins, triplets or other multiples?
Purchase your own copy of Multiple Birth Siblings as Adolescents. A guide for parents of twins and higher order multiples.
This is a guide for parents and others concerned with teenage multiples. It aims to increase the understanding of the changes and challenges multiples face. It also hopes to provide insights into the parent/child relationships, so that parents are able to trust in their own ability to support their children as they grow and develop into adulthood.
The physical, psychological and social development of young people includes:
- Accepting bodily changes and sexuality;
- Separating from a child’s role of dependency on adults and at the same time finding one’s own peers and peer culture;
- Forming a personal identity, in other words an idea of one’s individuality, beliefs and objectives;
- Distinguishing themselves from their co-multiple, in addition to developing into adolescents.
These issues are discussed in detail in the guide, along with discussions on dating, school and career options for multiple birth siblings.
Electronic copy available for only $6 AUD
