Dad’s Guide to Raising Twins: How to Thrive as a Father of Twins ($16+)
Dads tend to get lost in the mix of parenting websites and books. The focus is always on Mom – infertility and trying to conceive, pregnancy, labor, and delivery, the first months and years. It is because mothers ARE pivotal in this journey, but so are fathers. Which is why we highly recommend Joe Rawlinson’s book, Dad’s Guide to Raising Twins: How to Thrive as a Father of Twins. Read our full review of this book here.
Emotionally Healthy Twins: A New Philosophy for Parenting Two Unique Children ($15.95)
Most parents try to treat their twins as individuals, but most unwittingly undermine their best intentions because they lack a practical set of guidelines for raising emotionally healthy multiples. Drawing on her unique experience as a twin, the mother of twins, and as a psychotherapist, Dr. Joan A. Friedman outlines the seven key concepts for helping twins develop into self-realized, unique individuals and offers parents specific strategies for each stage in their children’s growth. From how to set up the nursery to handling playdates and extracurricular activities, from deciding on same or separate classroom education to encouraging grandparents and other family members to think beyond the pair to see individuals, Emotionally Healthy Twins will become the standard reference for parenting twins.
