Wiggle Talk - A Podcast For Parents Dear Wiggles: How Do I Stop Comparing My Twins?
If you’ve got twins, you know the mental trap: one’s talking more, one’s bolder, one eats better… and suddenly your brain is running a constant side-by-side comparison.
In this Dear Wiggles episode of Wiggle Talk, Simon’s joined in the studio by John Pearce and Caterina Mete - our perfectly qualified toddler-and-twins combo (John’s a twin, Caterina’s raising twin girls). Together they unpack what’s normal, how to support each child as their own little person, and how to quiet that comparison spiral when everyone around you keeps asking, “Which one’s the…?”

About The Wiggles' Podcast - Wiggle Talk
Think you’ve got parenting figured out? So do Simon and Lachy - until the toddler throws a curveball. On Wiggle Talk - a podcast for parents, Red Wiggle Simon Pryce and Purple Wiggle Lachy Gillespie tackle the tricky, funny, and unexpected moments of raising little humans.
Simon, dad to son Asher, and Lachy, father to twin daughters Lulu and Lottie and stepdad to Jasper, share the highs and lows of parenting in the early years. Alongside their own stories, they welcome guests - from parenting experts to well-known personalities - who bring fresh perspectives and practical wisdom to the table.
Each week also features Dear Wiggles - where listeners send in their questions, the things that keep them up at night, or the dilemmas they’d love another parent’s take on. Simon and Lachy talk it through with honesty, and when needed, they call in expert friends to help provide thoughtful advice and reassurance.
With decades of experience in children’s education and entertainment, The Wiggles bring their trademark warmth and playfulness to conversations on everything from sleep and routines to tantrums, play, and the big feelings that come with family life.
