Often they seem to understand each other and share each other s emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication.Whatis not so widely known is that this special relationship oftenacts as brake on twins intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year old twin is typicallysix months behindthat of a non-twin.The problem canbeparticularly severe in an underprivileged family, a one parent family for example, where there islittle stimulation forchildren anyway.Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severeeducational disadvantage.

Questions like How does that sound? or Does that make sense? may also work. (4)Listen well. When on the receiving end, ask questions to be sure you re on the same page.
