An increasingly growing population in preschool classrooms, you may have more questions and concerns regarding the best ways to care for and educate preschool-age children of multiple births. Twins and Supertwins addresses these issues and highlights best program practices supported by recent research and study findings; includes information on physical, social and emotional, and language development; identifies unique needs of twins and supertwins; and offers guidance to create partnerships with families. This comprehensive resource on educating twin children comes at a critical time. Twinning rates are rising and new information is accumulating at a rapid rate. Twins and Supertwins will help teachers, principals, administrators and parents make all the right decisions as twins, triplets and more approach the school-age years.?Dr. Nancy L.
