Emotionally Healthy Twins
If you're wondering what it feels like to grow up and be a twin or a triplet then this is the book for you. Identical triplet Kari Ertresvåg interweaves advice and observations on life as a multiple with hilarious anecdotes from her own, covering the logistically challenging early years, the perplexities of teenagerhood, and the clarity that comes as an adult. With humour and honesty, Ertresvåg lays bare what it feels like to grow up as a twin or a triplet--covering everything from what it's like to share friends, an underwear drawer or one's birthday, how to deal with incessant comparisons and layers of confusion, to what it's like to enjoy a life-sustaining bond yet still needing some time apart from one's twin or co-triplets--to jump-start reflections for parents and ultimately make life easier for twins and triplets. Kari Ertresvåg talks as a triplet child, cutting to the heart of the question parents of multiples ask--how do I foster individuality in my children while also nurturing the bond between them--with her heartfelt, honest and thought-provoking
Parent like a Triplet.
