When their identical twin boys were born, the parents made a conscious effort to treat each child as an individual rather than just focusing on their identical appearance. They implemented a color-coding system from infancy, with Charlie in green and Thomas in blue, which helped others identify the twins. Their commitment to nurturing individuality extended to personal spaces, separate birthdays, and avoiding joint presents. This approach aimed to foster a sense of independence while still reinforcing their bond as twins, tackling societal perceptions and the stereotypical twin identity.
When our identical twin boys were born, we deliberately treated them as individuals, ensuring they developed their own identities while also embracing their twin bond.
Color-coding became our first identity strategy, helping distinguish Charlie and Thomas, but it also led to confusion if we dressed them outside their assigned colors.
