It's really good to let these kids spend time apart. It helps them develop their own personalities and become more independent...

[@ophelian4646]

But they should've done that far earlier, from they were babies. They are three individuals. And I don't like the idea of skipping a class at all. You're a child for a very short time of life and a grown up for a looong time! Playing is not something unnecessary, it's a very important thing to become a good and smart adult.

[@yeah_right88]

​@@ophelian4646 You're ridiculous. If a child is bright and skips a grade holding them back is literally stunting their mental development. I skipped 2 grades and it allowed me to flourish. You have no idea what you're talking about. If I stayed in a grade that didnt challenge me I would have quickly lost motivation in caring about school at all.

[@ophelian4646]

@@yeah_right88 I do know what I'm talking about. I'm a preschool teacher and I've met hundreds of children from two years old and up.

[@jaydehawkins7016]

@@ophelian4646well I personally think that skipping grades isn’t a bad thing. A child can still develop mentally in a situation that challenges them while also playing. It’s just up to the parents to ensure that happens. Me and 53 of my classmates all graduated college together at the ages of 17 and younger. Now we are all seniors in college at 18 and 19, we had to learn to find balance and Dawsyn will do the same in her own way

[@yeah_right88]

@@ophelian4646 A preschool worker is not a teacher - they are a babysitter. Teachers are credentialed professionals

[@bbsteele671]

Send her to that school. It's the best option. She's gifted don't stop her growth. I graduated 3 semesters early. It was an amazing opportunity. She'll be fine! If anything she can always go to the other school if she doesn't like the gifted program. Best of luck! Blessed Be 💜

[@Seemydimples]

No ,she can go at a later time it's okay..it's not stopping her growth it is going at a slower pace which is a benefit as well she can have fun and still pass 😂

[@niromanti5935]

Im an identical triplet. I'm 24 now, but when we were growing up, my brothers and I were never ever separated. I don't know if y'all realize how close the bond is when you're a twin or triplet. You literally do everything together. So much so that I feel like my brothers are a piece of me. And when we are separated, it's like that piece is missing and it sucks.

[@TheOnlyWil]

But is that actually something that’s beneficial to multiples? If you’re identity is that closely connected with someone else’s it makes it tougher to define yourself as an individual

[@c.c1038]

​@@TheOnlyWilMy brothers are twins, my mom always kept them together. Same activities, friends, school and etc. One excelled, the other couldn't find his identity and grew resentment against the other. They now have a poor relationship with one another. Honestly, I guess it depends on the set of twins and triplets. This is their story.

[@SandySandy-p1g]

@@c.c1038Sounds similar to my ex and his twin sister. They did everything together well into their 40’s same schools, jobs, even lived together damn near their whole life. Unfortunately now they can’t stand each other I mean he has admitted he hates his sister to the point he has wished death upon her. I feel like had they just taken some time apart it would have turned out very different.

[@c.c1038]

@@SandySandy-p1g I agree. I wish my mom had encouraged them to be apart more so they could find themselves individually and not be in each other's shadow. I know she did it out of convenience. It's easier to buy 2 of the same outfit instead of letting them find their individual style. It's easier to put them in the same activities so you don't have to drive to 2 different places for drop off and pick up.

[@nenaelliott8058]

I am also a twin. My parents had 3 sets of twin girls and yes we are all extremely close but it's still very important to spend some time apart to developed independence and to become an individual, not just part of a set.

[@nunyabennis8894]

She didnt start looking for her siblings till you brought them up!!!! Your putting your own anxiety on her shes picking up on your "this doesn't feel normal" energy.

[@caken123]

Exactly 💯

[@beardzgorski8397]

ikr!!!

[@brendahill6474]

Why does she cry so much?

[@vernaedwards5692]

I agree with you. The parents talk in front of them like they don't understand & they do. So they're creating discontent among them.

[@kathleendietz8935]

Mama don't remind her 😢 You should periodically take each daughter out separately to get them used to it. They will need as they grow to learn about their own individuality in life. Lots of Love family ❤

[@moniquebush9317]

They all were fine. You guys put that energy out there.

[@JustBree716]

Yea. Im not sure if it's editing but they coddled them the whole time. Idk, i guess because i was always trying to do my own thing (my brother was two years younger) and then my kids are 12 years apart 😅 All i know is alone😅or independence i should say😅 But it did seem kinda like the parents made it worse 😅

[@DarthFurie]

Those babies are so precious, my goodness. Just wanted to give the little ones a hug when they looked sad 🥺💔

[@TJGAMINGSCOTLAND]

Same ❤

[@cherylbrantley4736]

I disagree with them holding her back if she’s able to go if they see something in her and wanna move her up to a higher grade level, they should let it happen. She can see her siblings when she comes home. It’s not like she’s moving away.

[@marciathomas8702]

You are not doing the multiples any favors by keeping them constantly together. They need their own identies.

[@lifeasthesmjs695]

Exactly. Ofc the first time will be hard, but they will adapt and time apart is good for them.

[@DoItWrightRo]

Odd… Their other triplets are functioning just fine…..🤷🏽‍♀️

[@swonsley245]

We have 3 sets of twins in our family in various ages. Separating them to learn independence was the best decision & the healthiest decision that could be made. Once set are now high producing adults. Best wishes to the Derricos

[@FranBenjamin-yg7qt]

I love the derricos. I love how polite, respectful, clean and neat all of the kids are. As well as the house. The parents are great too.

[@CarlaRogers-y8m]

Mr. & Mrs. Derricko, when are you and the family coming back on. How is GG?

[@Itsme60804]

It’s probably good to introduce some separation early even if it involves separation anxiety. As they get older they won’t always be in the same classes at school and will need to be able to cope with being apart. Maybe a little at a time for these cuties.

[@chulababy2120]

Dawson looked like she was just fine lol 😂

[@beamhigh207]

Right!

[@JordanWashington-vy5kl]

​@@beamhigh207right I thought Dawson would have separation anxiety and not the other two😂

[@TheOnlyWil]

While it’s hard to see their upset I think starting this kind of separation for short periods of time with multiples is vital for them developing their own personalities and individualism apart from their siblings. It’s healthier that they learn they don’t need to be anxious while away from their sibling at an earlier age rather than when they’re much older and trying to function in the real world

[@veronicamonell7263]

I’m a nanny for twins and when one has a doctors appointment or something and I watch just the one they always ask where brother is! They do everything together but I do think time apart is good too :) those triplets were so adorable!!!!!❤

[@ladyt3182]

Once she gets to school and see how much she hopefully likes it, she will flourish!

[@katrinawall7758]

She is to cute. Aw they're so sweet

[@TM-pf1hs]

Dawson is too cute, and I don't think she is experiencing separation anxiety. It is the parents that are anxious and the little girl is feeling the energy. That is not healthy.

Come on parents...let them have time alone, it's part of life. It's better now than later plus her opportunity to attend a school for genius kids 🙋✨

[@ladyt3182]

I think it’s good for them to separate, it definitely helps them to flourish. We allowed our twins to be in separate classes at school, they only had gifted classes together and they were in the same 4th grade class. They definitely have different personalities, you have to treat them as individuals not one unit, they all need different things. Do it now while they are younger, they will appreciate one another when they gather together after school or play together at recess, family breaks, etc. Our twins are in college now, they have different majors and they also have different bedrooms now. Time apart is definitely a good thing for siblings.

[@madreep]

One of my twins had separation anxiety and his siister loved her time apart. I made a point to only take one of them when I would run errands so that I could spend some one on one time

[@mrsbefort1616]

I have twins and one got accepted into a school and the other didn’t. 😢

[@katsarethebest9465]

They will be ok. They will get over it and they will stories to tell each other.

[@lisabrown9794]

The key is talkin to them ahead of time. Let them know what you're going to do. Kids are just like we are you cannot spring it on them. You have to talk to them ahead of time and when you do this it goes a lot easier. And they understand more. I have over 50 years of experience of working with children on all levels. And talkin to them really works they understand more than what you think

[@kerriewithpurpose5722]

I think they are putting thoughts in the children's minds about the separation though...I did not cry for my twin if I had my aunty or mommy around...geeze

they fed off that negative energy. separating multiples isn't hard if you do it more often. they are individuals more than they are multiples and need to develop their own identities. I separated my twins in preschool. and both sets are grown and all have healthy bonds.

[@lindasamba4816]

As much as It seems hard to separate them it is always going to be the best option because we have to remember that they are not 1 person but 3 individual people who have to make their own friends have their own experiences and be their own people treating them as a group all the time will not benefit them in the long run

[@tarynlowery4570]

Awww just hearing their little voices, I melt

[@remembercollins8244]

The parents add the stress by bringing things up . If they just let the kids be, they'd be fine

[@venitabroussard6093]

As a parent, you don’t just fall back and hope that things will be ok. You have a responsibility to guide.

[@lindasamba4816]

No but they didn't need to keep bringing the siblings up, especially the ones at home dad was doing nothing to distract them at all of course they were gonna keep thinking about Dawsyn. Had he engaged them in something they definitely would've forgotten even if it was just for a bit. It seems crazy that Dawsyn has the opportunity to go to this school but they'd be willing to have her lose that opportunity so she's not away from her siblings for a couple hours of the day yes they are triplets but they're individual people too

[@clearfamily7488]

The children are simply beautiful. Truly Blessed

I separated my twins from Kindergarten and they were perfectly fine. They had different personalities so it helped them navigate life on their own. They spent enough time at home together that it is good for them to have separate time at school. I feel the parents were passing on their anxieties to the kids. You don't have to keep asking them triggering questions.

[@nettegaines2067]

I think the mom was just asking her different questions about her food choices and Dawson said her banana was for her brother. I don’t think the mom purposely brought him up.

[@lorrainedavis7349]

I hope they don’t hold her back. As a parent of twins it’s important they spend time apart to develop their own independence and personality as well as spend one on one time with each parent.

[@Seemydimples]

Forget what the comments say..dont seperate them ..life will do that in due time ..let them enjoy loving and being around one another for as long as they choose its one of the free benefits that can only come from being a twin,triplet..etc ❤

To those who say multiples should be split up because they are individuals and they should be allowed to develop their own personalities don’t realize that multiples DO have their own personalities from the time they’re born and are individuals; however, they are one and they should be allowed to move as one as long as THEY - the multiples - will allow it. Multiples will let parent know in clear terms when they are ready to not dress alike, be together, etc. And then they will have moments when they want to be together.

[@Doggie-125]

they mean indivusally going away without the other

[@weirdofullofhopetrustme549]

I don’t see a reason to separate the kids, as for skipping a grade she looks a bit to young to even care. Let her be a kid and participate in the easy stuff with her siblings also this could potentially split them apart or grow to hate each other in the future. They’ll all be the same age but one already graduated and in college they’ll look at it as favoritism no matter how many times u inform them that was never your intentions.

[@weirdofullofhopetrustme549]

I have 2 brothers and just because I’m a sister doesn’t mean anything we all have different personalities and participated in different sports and had different hobbies. There not gonna have the same interests when there older.

These children will one day live separate lives. You have to start teaching them this early to do separate things and live independent lives and activities. As they keep doing that they get used to it
