I have 2yr old twin girls that whine and cry the intstant I enter or leave the room..help?

Question

Once I leave maybe they fuss for a short time then have fun. When I enter, I see them having fun then they see me run to me then begin follow me everywhere fussing. They don't this with anyone else. Do I make them needy? Give too much attention? Granted they were preemies born at 2lbs each and, yes, I spent every waking minute next to them in hospital for 3 mths. I dont hold them all the time or rock them. I dont know what to do.

Answer 1

Since they are two years old, there is maybe a chance they are in their "terrible twos"? You should probably read a book about what to expect when you have children, though it seems to be two or three years too late!

They are behaving perfectly "normally", and it is nothing that you have done (or not done), they are just turning into little people, realizing they have a degree of autonomy, and then using it!

Don't worry, it all calms down & you get your life back in about another 19 years!

Answer 2

Sometimes the children just really are attached. They also could have seperation anixety
