With twins that don't get along with each other They are girls who will be 11 on the 25 th one of them are adhd and o.d.d and they are not the only children on the house I also have a 13 and 6 daughter . And all they ever do is fuss about everything . The only thing they can't fuss about is clothes bc one is bigger then the other
When my daughter's sons (13 mos apart) would not get along, she tied them together. They HAD to learn to work together.
At first, they tried fighting each other. Talk about comedy. It didn't take them long to realize that hey HAD to work together and before you knew it, they were getting along and still do!
More info :-) ? ?
Need more information, like ages, genders, what is meant by "not getting along".
For any kids that don't get alone, regardless of age, I suggest separating them. Get one started on one activity/project then go do the same with the other. Obviously you cannot sit with either one the entire time. You could also send them both to different parts of the house and tell them they cannot bother each other. I'm unsure of their ages and girls/boy, boy/boy, etc. I agree, more info is needed! Is this all the time, only sometimes? Etc!
welcome to mamapedia!!
would love to answer - but need more information in order to help.
How about treating their different personalities differently?
Find out what each child is into & encourage that.
For example, if one is more into drawing & coloring, get them art supplies (crayons, paper, water colors).
If the other is more active, buy that child things like balls, child bats etc.
Since they are twins buy 2 of everything to ensure no fighting.
That helped in our family.
Definelty more info. But, there is this misconception that twins always love each other to pieces. I have triplets and I can tell you they went from loving each other to hating each other. Especially when they developed thier own personalities. Sometimes they wanted nothing to do with one or the other and sometimes everyone got on each others nerves and mommy had to referee. That means different tasks and different rooms. Then you hear silence and when you check on them, they are all playing nicely together. If they absoluelty hate each other and it gets to physical fighting, then time to look into what exactly is going on.
A lot of this has to do with older kids and younger baby sibling rivalry, but a lot could apply to twins as well:

Do they share a room?? can you give them each their own room?
Have them take turns sharing a room with the 6 yr old, anything to keep them separated more,
