Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education Champaign IL. Twins in School: What Teachers Should Know. ERIC Digest. To a large extent, the available research on twins stems from a long tradition of studies focused on the nature-nurture debates. These studies look at twins reared together and apart and attempt to ascertain the relative influence of genetic and environmental influences on personality development. Research on the effects of twins' separation in school and other practical questions is as yet very limited. Nevertheless, difficult decisions about their education have to be made by school districts, principals, and teachers while new research is awaited. This Digest offers some pointers for educators facing the challenges of educating multiples. DIFFERENT TYPES OF TWINS AND OTHER MULTIPLES There are two basic types of twins and other multiples. Identical twins are defined as monozygotic because they are the result of the split of a single fertilized ovum. Dizygotic twins, usually referred to as fraternal twins, are the result of the fertilization of two separate ova, as in other siblings born years apart. There are four types of identical twins, depending upon how early in the development of the ovum its division occurs. The earlier in the division, the more alike the individuals are likely to be physically. In the case of other multiples, as for example in the case of triplets, two of the three may be identical, but more typically all three are as different as any other three siblings.

A survival guide for parents of multiples: how to cope during the first year Having twins, triplets or more is a wonderful but exhausting experience. Linda Jones , mum to Emily and Melissa, shares her survival strategies... For the first year I lurched from one day of feeding, changing, winding, and more nappy changing to the next. The only way to make sense of the chaos is to organise yourself. Try and establish a routine quickly and stick to it. Share the work Don't let crying get to you Rest Twin clubs ... Where to next? Share the work Recognise that caring for multiples takes up a lot of energy. If one parent is at home and the other goes out to earn a living, remember you are both "working". Neither parent should be expected to deal with the nights alone. Rest Get as much rest as you can, if the children are napping, grab some sleep too. Accept any offers of help - don’t take it all on yourself.

76. Preparing For Multiple Births What s responsible for the dramatic rise in multiple births over the past two Between 1980 and 1997, the number of twin births increased by 52% and the http://kidshealth.org/parent/pregnancy_newborn/pregnancy/multiple_births.html

KidsHealth Parents Over the past two decades, there's been a phenomenal rise in the number of multiple births in the United States. Between 1980 and 1997, the number of twin births increased by 52% and the number of births involving three or more babies has quadrupled. What's responsible for this dramatic rise in multiple births? And how should you prepare for your own multiple birth experience? The Miracle of Multiples There are several factors that contribute to the development of a multiple pregnancy: Heredity: A history of multiple births on a woman's side of the family increases her chances of having a multiple pregnancy. Race: women of African descent women are the most likely to have multiple pregnancies. Number of prior pregnancies: Having more than one previous pregnancy, especially a multiple pregnancy, increases the chance of having a multiple pregnancy. Delayed childbearing: Older women who get pregnant are more likely to have multiples. Infertility treatment: Fertility drugs, which stimulate the ovaries to release multiple eggs, or assisted reproductive technology (ART), which transfers multiple embryos into the womb (such as in vitro fertilization, or IVF), greatly increase a woman's chance of having a multiple pregnancy. It's the last two factors that have been on the rise in the last couple of decades and are probably responsible for the increase in multiple births.

In Roman legend, Romulus and Remus, twin sons of Mars and the vestal virgin, Sylvia, were condemned to drown. A she-wolf rescued them from the water and suckled them. As adults, Romulus slew Remus during a quarrel over the site of the city later called Rome. The twins Castor and Pollux of Greek mythology gave their names to the star constellation of Gemini. Chang and Eng, the original Siamese twins, were born in Siam (today's Thailand) in 1811, connected by the breastbone.
