"One of the great strengths of this book is its ability to anticipate how emotionally difficult it is to
consistently treat twins as separate individuals.  Armed with excellent strategies, Friedman shares her
experience and knowledge to help parents combat their misguided impulses. This book gives me hope

variety of issues."
