My lovely RL friend has b/g DTs who are now a year old. DD is very bright, even precocious, walking, very inquisitve, confident and outgoing. My friend is having a tough time with DD's jealousy of DS, apparently DD goes mad, screaming hysterically when my friend cuddles DS, and wants to be held all the time. DD is much better when she has her mum to herself, though obviously that isn't often possible. My friend says she has been trying her best to ignore DD's bad behaviour and reinforce DS's good behaviour, but without much success so far. She works but has an au pair and a very hands-on DH, so there is help available. I suggested trying to spend a bit more time individually with each DC when she can, and said it is probably just a phase, but that seemed a bit lame . Anyone got any more helpful advice? Or even just reassurance that this is normal with twins at this age?
