Girls are growing and changing and that raises questions for mom and dad and they know that personalities are not the same, why? Because they are

identical

, surely their personalities should be the same but they are not. I'm pretty ignorant about these things. I'm not a doctor, but I would love for someone to come and

tell

me how it all works and why Dr. Bonhomie Oliver and Dr. Allison Pipe, a psychologist specializing in child development, both have a particular interest in several siblings, twins, now dime

quadruplets

. Wow, you know, this is fascinating. Julie and José have taken the girls to the London Institute of Psychiatry to get some answers. big questions about your

only

children what's unique about girls is the fact that there are

four

of them, there are

four

of them growing up in the same environment of the same age with very similar needs, wants and desires, etc.

At the same time, it is a really nice natural experiment to test, explore and find out what is nature and what is not sure what the results show will be a surprise for both doctors and mom and dad at the Institute of Psychiatry . The UK's

only

identical

quads are By undergoing a series of tests, what I'm interested in is seeing whether particular assessments might uncover some nuanced differences between the girls and their genetically identical ones. They have shared the same upbringing environment. The same parents. The same school. That's why I'm a little worried about our evaluations. it may just show similarity between girls hi George can you play my game yes the first time is actually the pain but now

tell

me Georgie can you sit in our sets designed to show how boys can differ in their risk taking , so it's a

kind

of space almost like a game task, there are nine treasure chests that have stickers on them and you can open as many treasure chests as you want, but in one of the treasure chests there is a pirate and he will take your stickers. stickers if you open them. the box with it you would like to open a box and see if you can find a sticker as the experts predicted georgie Blanchester will behave in a similar way who seemed happy to take some calculated risks however Elly's reaction is a surprise which one has the pilot not you I'm going to say that's the game you want to open a box you don't want to open any boxes okay then you can keep your adorable stick what really stood out about Elly and the risk taking for Us is the only one who didn't want to open any of the boxes, but even Elly wasn't anxious about it, she was sure she wasn't going to open them, but the risk-taking task showed big differences in her impulsiveness next Alison performs each puppet test I don't tell my sisters what to do, I do tell them to my sisters what to do and you, so this puppet interview is designed to learn children's perspectives on family life. about their relationship with mom and dad with the president brothers or sisters when I'm at home I like to play with my sisters when I'm at home I like to play alone What about you?

They were actually very similar in many ways. They all talked about their relationship with Mom and Dad and each other in extremely positive terms. Jess's interview with the puppets definitely highlighted something else. I don't cry much. I cry a lot. And you? Jess, then she was bolder. Petting Iggy and Ziggy, you know, she was less willing to follow the exact interview protocol, so she stood out from me by being a little more individual. Does your mother's Ben spend more time with your sisters or more time with you? No, that sounds like it. Like my mom, she was the only girl who reported parental favoritism, so all the other girls said, "You know, no mom and dad treat us exactly the same, but according to Jess, she was the favorite and it was proof behavior, but Mark Jessica had another one.

Are we approaching a star? This game is testing and what we call phonological awareness is testing skills related to reading. Can you find two that start with the same sound? For some of them, the

of concept of removing the first letter of the word was quite difficult if you take that girl out of the door, what do you have left? Thank you, if I remove the birth from the bar, what is left of the house, it is quite a difficult test for this age. Jess, she surpassed everything she did very well in everything. I really understood the task if you take off this scarf what's left on you ah well Jessica has already shown that independence signers are the first to go on play dates without their sisters and it is her results that have proven to be the most revealing first.

When she was born, we probably treated her a little more gently, maybe we'll fall for a better word, she was actually going to die, that's why the birth was planned for the next day. The other thing I just remembered is that she. She would leave her alone more because she wasn't trying to walk or track we know so she should be very happy if she was left alone and I always remember thinking that this will affect the way she becomes as a person and you know. They're all a product of our experience, those little differences that you were talking about in terms of the way you hold them or the way you talk to them, however small, it's those little differences in their environmental experience that could make a difference. big difference for who.

They are biologically physically, personality-wise they are certainly not identical, so our expectation is that as the girls grow, they will become more and more distinct over time, more and more individual, the tests of mom and dad given , a better idea of ​​what is vital. Experience plays a role in your children's development, treating them in different ways because maybe you know Jess was little so you teach there more care

y, which has had a knock-on effect on her way of being, is rebuilding everything that and understanding that it is Well, this is why and, just like your first swimming lesson, every event in your lives will be important.

Julie understands that her daughters are growing and changing, but as the only British mother with identical dates, she has had no one to turn to for parenting advice. When I first found out I was having

quadruplets

, I tried to contact a couple other families, but you know, they never called me back, so I gave up after that because I was too busy being at home and looking after them. of health. She has been forced to look further afield and recently she has contacted an American family who also has four identical girls. She's been invited to come visit Oh, Julie, my family is so excited to meet you.

The girls' names are Kelly Kendra. Megan and Sarah are 18 years old and recently teenagers. Well, I can't imagine what mine will be like when they're teenagers. Mommy will go tomorrow, take the plane and go to her house to meet them, maybe some people would say, well, you. I shouldn't look into the future, but it would be good to have an idea of ​​what lies ahead. I love you, oh, okay, don't forget the light in the kitchen. Are you feeling a little excited but also excited if there's someone in me? life or is maybe you should use your rear view mirror I can't I can't see if you use my face to face meeting with Kendra your room right in front of your face this takes me right out of town I have Kendra Megan, the oldest in the camp in Cali, and often saves Bakken in the state of Minnesota, where they live.

I want to know what life will be like for the next 15 years. Oh yeah, right now you think it's competitive over which church there was and you just wait there. There will be closer fights than you can imagine, it depends on daily Hi ladies, probably the most important tip you need is to have tags because otherwise you will fight and fight and no one will know whose is what, so always tag it. As teenage girls, one of their favorite ways to spend Saturday is at the local mall. I like this shirt like I like this one.

This is one. I only have Fannie Mae with Tara, you can use. She was wearing a t-shirt. I'm cool, you should. wear a belt with it we are almost black could you if you say you will buy what you have? you would trade all of them and we are each other's more than like they were Sarah's not theirs if Callie bought something you wouldn't buy share it with us I wouldn't wear it and you might have really nice things I definitely wouldn't wear that I would wear it that I would use that I would know I don't know if I would read but I don't know together I would use these, whether red or green, I was in the bowls of the house, ready like Julie's girls, the hard quads are approaching a crucial point in their lives, they are leaving high school and going to different universities, it will be the It's the first time the girls are separated.

I think college is very good for us to establish our own individuality. We read more about being separate from each other, which will be a lesson behind what you think will affect your personalities in terms of the differences. another weird figure, yeah, they'll find out who you are without your sisters, I think, I think we're different just because we're so used to thinking that people think we're very similar where people say, yeah, it's one of the quads. You know, if one of them does this, I bet you he's the one doing that too. We definitely think differently about a lot of things and act differently and we're used to people only looking at the similarities between us.

The university is a perfect place. to start and branch out on your own as much as we are together to the extent that we do things now the Taylors are going to change going to school and stuff but we will always have something that can't be broken and we will always share things that will never change even if we are not part of each other's lives as we use each other as we have been for the past 18 years, as Julie faces her future, the cat I rescued for work, not the first time wrong I think she trusts me I think he just likes things to continue in their routine while he's no longer here Triangles and Most Housekeeping Living Arrangements Julie is getting a feel for the Durst family Why are you talking to me like that? - oh I didn't know, that's why you asked me if you want to see Kendra's ethnographies, yes, I asked them to come back, let me finish, oh my God, I hope it's not as loud as they are, but they will be.

The girl said they talk but she gets loud because there are four of them and they were talking to each other and then they all respond and oh my God, it's crazy. I'm going to need a lot of Prozac this week. It's Julie's last day. America with the same Durst girls and she's thought of a way to unite all the courts Holly, how's Nathan? You still have your hair Esme, yes, almost Caddy has a tiara on, well, because she likes to be different, wouldn't you be different because because? It's more fun and she has three sisters who look like her and she wants to be different.

I think we look the same or you're not the same. We can all stay in touch before she leaves. Julie wants to have some last words of wisdom from someone who's been there before we see our girls and you know they're together all the time yeah even you and I don't even

y know what it's like to go somewhere and that People don't really know who you are. Sometimes in the family, yes, we experience it through them, but you know, did you trust yours in the same way when they were younger? I did and I really enjoy those days right now because once they reach a certain age they don't want to dress the same.

High school, going to college is different places, how does that make you feel? You know a little sad and you know that even with all the chaos and the noise and the fights and the disagreements and all that, it's still going to be a big I'm sure I'm adjusting, but you know it's just the next step in life and, On the other hand, your children need to move on. I mean, it's just a part of life. If you had any advice for me that you think would help. It will be really useful and could take you to England.

Yes, I think as they get older it's important to know that because you will always spend time with all of them, but make sure you find your individual time with all of them and that you like the help. That they like to discover their differences and not focus on their similarities, let them be who they want to be, you know, and not impose each other's personalities. It's like realizing that as a father and as your own brother you have to do it. Worry, we have to let go of the reins, a baby like you, let him run free, you know, certainly, one thing I have from this weekend is that before I thought that they would go alone indifferent directions, maybe I feel very anxious, worried and excited to have met the girls.

Maybe you should try to encourage individuality as early as possible so that they have a sense of independence and freedom from each other. I really want to get on the plane and see my daughters. This has been a big year for the courts with some important milestones along the way as they spread their wings and stepped out into the big wide world. The girls grew and changed. The personalities are really starting to develop and are very different. They behave differently, they play differently and because of that they are becoming more independent. Now, today is the biggest milestone yet, the girls are fifth.Birthday preparations are underway Balloons inflated Cakes Food Banners The experiences of the past year have had a great impact on mom and dad.

They have decided that today is the day to let girls express their individuality by choosing their clothes. A beautiful way to show some party experience. that my own Beatrice is a pretty purple, why are you wearing different dresses? Because we like to be different. Will you always dress differently from now on? If she's here. I think it means that their individual personalities come out different, totally different. We continue now. I have always done it. I thought it would be better if they all stayed together all the time, of course, you know, now they are developing and becoming individuals.

I see that that is not practical and not good at all. We've always done things collectively as a group and you know, dressing the same has been easier, but as we've gone through this process, we've started to separate them a little more and I think that's been nice as they get older. and they develop and their differences become more different. I think lives will probably be busier and may be more complicated. Oh, the task. How are we going to do four different sets of homework. There is the desire to look different. The pressure of others. friends, the different friends you could have guys, oh my god, guys, things like hairstyles, hair straighteners, shoes, if they're anything like me, oh my god, how many pairs of shoes a week and a half do I have to to have a whole room to sweat in again.
