Dear Ann Landers,
have twin girls, 2 years old. Please forgive a mother's pride, but they are very pretty and loaded with personality. Of course, they attract a great deal of attention wherever they go. People stare, poke each other with elbows and say, "Look at the twins." My daughters are aware of the furor they create and revel in it. How did you and your twin,

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:

Dear Readers,
, punch, kick, spit, have violent temper tan-trums, and couldn’t play with other children. We took the boy to several doctors before one suggested our state university medical center for evalua-tion. He was placed in a daily thera-peutic program and the results have been fantastic. He is a different child. I am grateful for all the help our son received there but I feel that most of the change was accomplished by love. GRATEFUL FOR HELP IN CONNECTICUT
