Twins development: what's special about it?

Twins development For a long time, the twins development has been studied by comparing it with that of other children. Yet being born to a twin brother or sister can influence their unique psychological development. Can we develop in the same way when we are a “real” twin when we are biologically unique? For a long time, the scientific community avoided the question, focusing more on the similarities that twins exhibited. Therefore, the conclusion was rather unfavorable that twins, unlike single children, developed language, abstraction and other cognitive abilities with systematic delay.This is a mistake: we know today that twins have a development of their own and that it is t, therefore, possible to model it on that of unique children. Indeed, they go through some additional stages, which will allow them to develop their personality and eventually lead them to autonomy. The course of empowerment of the twins actually involves three phases: the fusional stage, in which the twin...

10 things you should certainly not do with your little baby

baby communication: how can you understand the needs of your child?

Baby communication Long before he can speak, your baby tries to communicate his needs, desires and emotions with signals.  Babies learn to communicate in different ways before they know how to talk. Thus, in a few months, your baby emits different types of crying, cooing and facial expressions to see your reaction and that of those around him. He soon learns to exploit the cries and movements that bring him the satisfaction he seeks. Knowing that he can get what he wants help to gain greater esteem of him and feeds his desire to go further, to discover things. When your baby makes sounds, repeat them after him and add in some of your own. Meeting the needs of your child does not spoil him. The need for human contacts is innate. By fulfilling your baby's needs, you get to know him better and give him the opportunity to get to know you better; and above all, you tell him he can count on you.
