Book: It’s Twins! Parent-to-Parent Advice from Infancy Through Adolescence

I’m pleased to announce the publication of my new book for families with twins and multiples! Here’s what you can expect from It’s Twins! Parent-to-Parent Advice from Infancy Through Adolescence:

It’s a wonderful gift to be the parent of twins, but it’s a gift that can often leave you breathless. Who, but the parents of twins, can truly understand the joys, challenges, and unexpected moments multiples bring? Susan Heim knows, and as a mother of toddler twins and two singleton teenagers, she has plenty of twins tips, twins tales, twins trivia, and more to share. Plus, she offers the unique voices of other twins parents who tackle the important questions on raising twins of any age.

Reading like a coffeehouse gab session with dozens of other moms and dads, It’s Twins! is conveniently divided into bite-size topics covering four main stages:

Twin Babies—you now have not one but two (or more!) infants at home, but the calm, reassuring experience of parents who have been there is right at your fingertips.

Twin Toddlers—potty-training, emerging personalities, preschool, shopping for (and with) two picky eaters, and many other developmental changes are coming fast. Relax, help is here!

Twin Kids—your twins are in school now, making friends, going places; their world is expanding. Discover this new world with the help of those who know the way.

Twin Tweens and Teens—those special years of forming lasting friendships, dating, rivalry, and independence. You’ll have help seeing all this from your twins’ point of view.

With lots of common sense, humor, and encouragement from other parents, It’s Twins! will help ease your anxieties, and put the fun and love back into the ever-challenging role of raising twins.

It’s Twins! Parent-to-Parent Advice from Infancy Through Adolescence can be ordered from Amazon or directly from the publisher, Hampton Roads .
