Mother's of twins...HELP!

I don't know about a twin thing, but I don't think its a boy thing! It sounds like you might need to get really strict with them. There should be absolutley no slapping of parents in the face! Getting down at eye level and talking to them will not help- they are too young, and obviuosly time out in room isn't good either, again they are too young. IMHO Time out in room is for teenagers, 3 year olds need time out right where you can see them! I used to sit mine on the bottom step of the stairs or on a stoolin kitchen or whereever I was. Yes they would get up & i would go get them (no talking ) bring back to time out spot and say you are in time out stay there. each time they got up i brought back until they sat for their 2 minutes or however long you determined. then i would get down to eye level and say you were in time out for ...(slapping mommy) It is not okay to do that. Sometimes I would ask them why they were in time out and make them tell me why (this works really well for my 7 yr old) then i would let them get up. If you can, google supernanny and watch some episodes she is really helpful! they need to be in your sight at all times and you need to be VERY consistent with your time outs and they will learn.

No, this isn't a twin thing or a boy thing. Yes, boys are much rougher and at this age much more tempered. Any kids at this age are doing this for various reason, sounds like you're disciplining but not sure about consistency which is a huge factor, they're doing it for attention, do they talk well? Many kids at this age who don't have good speaking skills do this sort of thing because they don't know how or what words to use for whatever the situation might be, they're both wanting the same toy, they're frustrated, they're tired, hungry, etc. If you think this is the case and they don't have good speaking skills, talk to your doc about getting them into speech therapy. Other than that....keep doing what you're doing, I've always said, it's much harder to be a disciplinarian than to just give in to your child. However, giving in to them only leads to bigger and more severe problems later.

Speak to your pediatrician. He might be able to recommend help with diet and/or medication. Sounds like they need it. Don't wait long. Luck

It's a sensory integration thing. (SPD) almost all twins have it from lack of movement in the womb. Have them evaluated by a pediatric occupational therapist before it leads to school problems and learning challenges and social issues with others. It will change your lives!

AYYYYYYMIE!!!!!!! Love you :)

Okay, A. knows how I feel about this because we've known each other personally forever, but before the claws come out, I just want to throw out there that she REALLY has tried just about everything with these boys; they're truly at the end of their rope.

That being said, the boys do have good, sweet moments too :)

Are you consistant with the discipline? That is huge when dealing with the unruly behavior. I would suggest that when you do give them a time-out that it is in a place that is completely boring and where they can't destroy things or mess it up.
