Choosing Names For Twins
There are many reasons for treating your twins as individuals rather than a pair. But if you must choose names that go together here are a few suggestions. But first, always make sure the first name goes with the surname, and watch out for the initials - spell out baby's initials to make sure you are not increasing her chances of being teased or bullied. Also, keep it sensible; we came across twins the other day named Mercedes and Porche - admittedly the babies will probably cost about the same as the cars by the time they leave home, and perhaps Daddy would have preferred the cars?! OK, now to the suggestions. Names With The Same Meaning:
Anagrams:
Some people recommend using names that rhyme or sound the same, but think of the babies who have to learn their names by the sound. If they both sound the same or very similar, it makes it very difficult for them. Finally, always keep in mind how your children will feel about the names you give them. I once worked with a girl called Hazel Nutt! Luckily she had the strength of character to withstand the laughter whenever she met someone new, unlike the Irish lad whose middle name was Mary, he hated that and it affected his feeling for his parents. **************************************************************** Author: Tony Luck who runs a site about babycare which has a large section about baby names.

How to Create an Emotional Bond with Your Child One of the most powerful tools that parents have for raising their children is the natural emotional bond that exists between them and their child. Children who feel close to their parents will have a strong desire to obey them. No child with this type of connection to his parents will want to risk hurting that connection by disobeying them. When such a relationship exists, the mere look of dissatisfaction on the face of a parent will usually be enough to curb inappropriate behavior. This bond is so strong and so potent that it lasts even through adolescence when most of the disciplinary tools at our disposal are ineffective. Often, it is the only tool we have in guiding our teenage children. Parents who do not have such a connection with their children have lost a vital resource necessary for successful parenting.
