Dear Computer scientists community, I have an issue

A professor asked us to do the following homework

using sleep(), using alarm(), signal(), and pause().
• Write a program that forks two processes in parallel (i.e., 1 parent and 2
childs). After 2 seconds, let child_1 signal child_2. This latter, should print
that he received a signal from child_1. After 3 seconds, child_2 should
signal the parent, and have this latter print that he received a signal from
child_2. Upon receiving the last signal, the parent kills his 2 children, and
the children should print a “Termination message” when killed.

And when I asked him about the parallel begining. he said that I should open two terminals in linux and run the program which would similate a parallel begining.

Do any one of you have a clue about what to do ? thanks in advance

I wouldn't worry about the parallel part, just fork two processes. They'll be running in parallel. There's no way have to processes/threads start at the exact same time.
