Shawn Anderson
Hi, I’m Shawn, proud father of identical twins, Ethan and Elijah, who are currently three years old, and our youngest, Ezra, who is just over one. I have a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education from the University of South Florida. I spent nearly a decade teaching in various classroom settings, from preschool through fifth grade. My experience as a teacher has been incredibly valuable in my parenting journey. I’ve learned the importance of patience, understanding children’s developmental stages, and guiding them towards their goals. These skills have been especially helpful in raising three young children. Parenting three kids under the age of three has its challenges. I work from home, which means I juggle work and family life closely. Despite the chaos and constant activity, it’s incredibly rewarding to watch our children grow and learn every day.
One of the things I enjoy most about being a parent is watching my children grow and develop their unique personalities. Ethan and Elijah, despite being identical twins, have distinct traits and preferences, and it’s fascinating to see how they interact with each other and with their little brother, Ezra. Outside of parenting and my teaching career, I enjoy spending time with my wife, escape rooms, and retro gaming. These activities provide a great balance and help me stay energized and focused on both my family and professional life. Parenting is a journey filled with ups and downs, but it’s one that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Through ParentingPairs.com, I’m excited to share our experiences, tips, and insights to help other parents navigate this wonderful adventure.

Hi, I’m Mina, a loving mom to our energetic identical twins, Ethan and Elijah, who are three years old, and our youngest, Ezra, who is just over one. I have a background in psychology and preschool education, where I spent many years teaching young children. This experience has taught me so much about early childhood development and the importance of nurturing each child’s unique strengths. Raising three young kids is definitely a challenge, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Let’s be honest though, nothing could of prepared me to navigate the craziness of life with identical twin boys.
I’m an avid reader and an animal lover, my love for reading has also been passed on to our children, helping improve their literacy and speaking skills. Reading has always been a foundation of our interactions with the kids, fostering their love for stories and learning. I believe in maintaining flexibility, and creating a warm, supportive environment where our children can thrive.
