 My wife and I have successfully raised our triplets using volumes of self help and instructional books, but most of our success has come from within. We have been married since 1979. After 10 years of infertility (which was an education in and of itself) we have been students of high risk pregnancy, neonatal intensive care, nursery organizational skills, potty training, discipline, schooling, and most recently, Attention Deficit Disorder. We have lived in a city setting and rural suburb. We have had hired help and have done it alone. What I offer to you is the knowledge we have accumulated over the years.

As your son screams and flails his body about, his intention is to attract your attention. At only twelve months, there isn't much you can do besides ignoring the behavior so as not to reinforce it. By

It depends on whether your mother is an identical or fraternal twin. As far as we know, the chances of having identical twins are completely random and not genetic. An egg splits soon after conception
