I have twin boys almost 4. One is shy and dependent on his brother. Recently they've been put into 2 different classes at daycare. The shy one not very happy and there are days he cries and screams to be with his brother; the teachers then need to make arrangements to put them toghether. I've planned to separate them @ grade one but was happy that the daycare made this decision due to space problems. I thought it would help my son to get independent and come over his shyness and interact with the other kids. I'm not sure if we're pushing the issue so early on him???!!!!

It could be that waiting a bit longer will lend itself to a smoother separation at some point down the line, when your little guys are a bit more mature. If you want to continue the current arrangement, however, you could help your shy one find the separation easier by offering him Bach Flower Therapy. Go to your local health food store and ask for the Bach Remedy called "mimulus." Give him 2 drops of mimulus in milk, water or juice 4 times a day (morning, noon, afternoon, evenng). You can stop treatment when he doesn't care anymore about the separation. This may be all that he needs. Give it a couple of weeks to see if there will be an improvement. Good luck, Sarah Chana ADD COMMENT

My kids won't get into bed before 11:30. It's summertime and I know that has something to do with it. But they are 10, 9 and 8. I know this is much too late for them but nothing I am doing is working. Any suggestions? ADD COMMENT
