Rough "play" - how much to intervene?

[TinyTeachr]

I have 3yo identical twin boys. Their needs/temperaments are pretty similar, but one is generally more energetic and emotional (it's how most people tell them apart!)

They play together a lot. Mostly it's quite nice, but the more emotional twin is always slightly rougher and tried to be dominant. Obviously we have ruled against bbiting/ hair pulling, but I'm not sure how much to intervene when it's general shoving and forcefully positioning.

Anyone been through similar and have some advice?

Just bumping for you.

Hello although mine are a lot younger 16 month old identical twins and I'm sure we haven't hit that difficulty much yet. All I can say is that we are constantly trying to reinforce ' ahhh love your sister ' and 'gently' when things are getting a little rough. Then physically giving them cuddles whilst 'ahhh love' this normally turns rough play into a more gentle loving moment. Or just a complete distraction with a toy that's more interesting.
