3 yr old twins fight during my jogging?

Question

I go on a 2 mile jog/walk with a friend of mine everyday. My girls sit in a jogging stroller with snacks, drinks, and toys and still fight and whine constantly. It really is frustrating. Is there anythin at all that I could do to keep them from whining the entire 2 miles.

Answer 1

Can't they just stay home with Daddy? Or get separate strollers and your friend can push one...or you can take one, leave the other and switch every day!

Answer 2

I have twin boys that are 4 yrs old and so far I have found nothing that will keep them from fighting. I would suggest getting a sitter. would be good for you to get some me time

Answer 3

I have 3 year old twins too.  Maybe 2 miles is too long for them--I usually go for a 1 mile walk and towards the end they start wanting to get out.  

Also did you try to change the time--maybe they are not really hungry during the time you go so the snacks are not working to distract them.

This might sound like a crazy idea (and you will not get as much exercise) but have you tried letting them walk with you?  I have done that a few times and they love it but the walk definitely turns into a much longer walk since you stop a lot.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

could you swap a twin for your mates baby? let her push a twin, while you push a twin and the other kid.

take the toys off them if they fight and whine.

give them back when they behave

teach them some games they can play, like i spy

or sing songs, all of you together. get them doing the actions to head shoulders, knees and toes
