I thought this was odd......

in 2nd Trimester

I was just talking to a coworked who has 2 year old twin boys. He was saying that they are in therapy because they are twins. His wife doesn't want them to have any identity issues when they are older and that their Dr. thought they were having "issues" already.

Really?? Does anyone else think this is totally over kill??

    I guess it really depends on the children... but yes this seems rediculous to me... like a money grab from the dr. and therapist.

    My cousin has twin boys that are getting close to 3 now and they haven't had any therapy or concerns about identity issues and they are identical twins.

    Uh, yeah!  Unless there is some behind the scenes trauma there, but really and identity crisis at TWO!?!

    I think not

    Wow: what a sign of the times!  I DO think it's overkill, but maybe they know something they didn't mention about the kids having behavioral issues for attention etc...

    Wow, i totally agree that this is an odd thing! I have 2 sets of twins in my extended family, and there are absolutely NO identity "issues" there.... Poor kids!

    That is a bit extreme. My cousins are twins and never went to therapy. The only identity issue they had was when they tried to go to two different colleges and found out that being apart is NOT what they wanted. Now they are at the same school and having a blast.

    Without knowing any more details, it's hard to say - but yes, gut feeling says it's overkill!  I think most therapy is overkill but that's my opinion!

    That is ridiculous if they are only 2! They won't even understand why they are there in the first place. Let them be kids!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh come on. What kind of "identity" issues are 2 year olds going to be having? Their biggest concern right now is 1) where's my toy and 2) why can't I have more juice?

    Something tells me that these twins are your co-worker's first children. Oh, and that their Dr is completely doing this for $$.

    I work in an office that provides childrens services. Case managment, therapy, and psychiatric services. We rarely see kids under three. We provide services to children this young by working through the parent! Hopefully, if these boys are in therapy, it's actually for the parent to help mom and/or dad develop better parenting skills to address whatever behaviors have brought this family to seek services.

    I wonder what kind of "therapy" they are getting...

    WTF!!! That makes no sense...some people are so lazy and look to medical help to raise their children...poor little boys!  I'm sure they were fine til they started going to the dr...
