The Paradox of Telling Identical Twins Apart

As a parent of twins, you will learn how to distinguish your kids even if they are identical.

Others will be baffled at how you can tell your babies or even your identical toddlers apart.

However, this inherent skill as a twin parent only applies to your kids. When I see other identical twins at church for example, I can’t tell them apart. I have to rely on context clues like hair style or clothing colors.

Why is this?

Time.

Having twins doesn’t give you super powers that let you identify any random identical twin.

Having twins gives you time with your twins. Constant contact and interaction helps you differentiate your twins.

Look for the uniqueness in each of your twins and write those down in your journal.
