They fight over everything and anything. The fights get very physical. I am at that point where I have no idea what to do but I have really had enough of it (apart from the noise and emotional distress it causes me things are getting damaged and broken during their fights and I am worried about their safety). I want them to learn to resolve their issues with each other but they are both so hard headed that neither will give in. Can anyone give me any tried and tested tips to help. x

Try to give them a separate intrest I.e. one does karate and the other rugby. Gives them healthy competition and pride in themselves over their chosen hobby. If they have their own rooms discuss new rules about knocking and giving eachother space. If one is in room then other can not go in and annoy so they give them selves time out from eachother. Am an ID twin myself and it gets fustrating being compared all the time especially as you do it to yourselves all the time with everyone else doing it too it can get too much. If it is your stuff getting broken they need to know this is wrong and how to make ammends. If it is their own then tough they have to learn (but move anything you would be upset over to avoid this)
