Sharing Toys
My two kids have a lot of toys. And I do mean a lot!
Despite the many toys, they still want to fight over a particular toy. Usually, it is when an ignored toy gets the attention of one, the other also decides that she wants the to play with the toy too.
Sometimes I just have to remove the toy if neither wants to let the other play with that particular toy first. I mean there’s only so much screaming, crying and foot stamping that I can put up with! 
I don’t claim to know the psychology behind the fight but some say it has to do with an act of aggression and power, and some say it is just an act of selfishness.
My kids are not twins but their age difference is only two months. Twins have a special bond and can play and share with each other very well, at least that is what I believe!
For now my advice to both my kids are:
1. Keep your personal toys separate. Do not take the other’s toys without his or her permission.
2. For generic toys, if one has it first, that person plays with it till he or she is done playing with it. If you still want to play with it, ask the other person if he or she will let you play with it first. If that person says no, you just have to wait for your turn.
3. If they fight over a toy, that toy will be removed and neither gets to play with it.
I think these three rules will suffice for now. If you have any tip that works, let me know!
4. If they fight over a toy, will give the toy away (to uncle Nightwing..hehe).

Haha, I’m sure they will try their best not to have the toy taken away!
