Listen on
Episode notes
Primary school has arrived for you - but should you separate or keep your twins together?
It's the BIG question that twin parents agonise over from the time their twins take their first steps!
On this episode we are joined by Twins Trust's Victoria Morrell (who also happens to be mum of TWO sets of twins) who kept her twins together and the award-winning blogger Helen Copson from Twins Tantrums and Cold Coffee, who decided to separate hers.
There's no right or wrong answer to this MAJOR twin-parent conundrum, but this brilliant conversation will definitely help you to navigate this the best way for your family. And with Alison's twins about to start school and Jenna already thinking about it even though hers are just turning three, we loved hearing both sides of the story and the pros and cons of both options.
Twins Trust has some brilliant resources on this:
