| 0:00.0 | We've all heard stories about the deep connection between twins, particularly identical twins. |
| 0:06.7 | Psychology today explains why that bond is so strong with them. |
| 0:11.2 | Quote, they share a primary attachment that is irreplaceable and forms a lifelong attachment and |
| 0:17.7 | bond as well as an indelible identity. Sharing their in-utero life is the |
| 0:24.1 | beginning of their nonverbal communication and their need for closeness, and comfort can be found in |
