Simple node script to get you going without too much hassle. Using readline to combine outputs so the lines don't get mangled.

const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const readline = require('readline');

[
  spawn('npm', ['run', 'start-watch']),
  spawn('npm', ['run', 'wp-server'])
].forEach(child => {
    readline.createInterface({
        input: child.stdout
    }).on('line', console.log);

    readline.createInterface({
        input: child.stderr,
    }).on('line', console.log);
});
