The VIRGO Child

But four young oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats -were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat-

From the earliest moments, the Virgo baby displays a remarkable ability to imitate sounds,
their alertness contrasting with a peaceful and serene nature,
foretelling a future personality that alternates between soothing and exasperating.

Feeding a little Virgo applesauce when they desire peaches may lead to a lengthy battle,
with applesauce adorning the high chair,
but not a speck of it making its way into their stomach,
despite the charming smile as they firmly turn their head away.
Their meticulous selectivity regarding food emerges early on.

Aside from being finicky eaters and occasional spells of indigestion,
raising a Virgo child is a pleasant experience,
with minimal conflicts and tantrums.
Even at a young age, these children possess a natural inclination for neatness,
cheerfully tidying up their toys.
While they may appear bashful and reserved in the presence of others,
around family and friends, they possess a gift for conversation.
Virgo children tend to speak fluently and early, except in front of strangers.
They are generally well-behaved and respond positively to instructions,
requiring minimal scolding.

In the classroom, Virgos often become teacher's pets,
thanks to their easy discipline and meticulous approach to studying.
Educating a typical, bright Virgo child with gentle manners is a delight,
though excessive criticism can lead to undue worry and even illness.

Occasionally, the typically shy and quiet Virgo child will surprise the teacher and classmates,
raising their hand to point out an error made by the instructor,
causing moments of embarrassment for the teacher (who is, after all, human).
Virgo students have an inherent thirst for knowledge and facts,
rarely questioning authority but often seeking to understand the underlying principles.
They believe that the printed word alone may not suffice for their curious and meticulous minds.
Educational toys are essential for their development,
and from a young age, they should be exposed to as much reading as possible.
Failure to provide them with a comprehensive education can leave them feeling like unhappy misfits as adults.

During adolescence, it's best to give the Virgo teenager space,
avoiding teasing or prying into their romantic interests.
Virgos tend to be cautious about forming close relationships that may lead to marriage,
so it's crucial to facilitate their journey with minimal obstacles.

To fulfill their emotional needs, provide the Virgo child with ample displays of physical affection.
Though they may never show it, they deeply crave this type of love,
and the lack of it can profoundly impact their future relationships.
Even the most intelligent and attractive Virgo children often need reassurance
that their modest and unassuming nature is genuinely appealing.
Encouragement, bear hugs, sincere compliments, and pats on the back are essential daily doses of emotional nourishment,
in addition to their regular dietary requirements.

Virgo children often exhibit exacting habits and become upset when their belongings are disturbed or their privacy invaded.
They have a particular routine and become disoriented if it is disrupted.
While asking for their frank opinion may prove risky,
they generally maintain polite behavior in social settings.
These children possess a strong sense of responsibility at a young age,
displaying empathy towards their parents' headaches and financial concerns.
Expect them to strive earnestly for good grades, assist with household chores willingly,
and manage their allowance with care.

Although they are far from perfect and may frustrate you with their selective preferences,
such as removing beans from chili or refusing to wear a recently ironed shirt due to minor wrinkles,
a Virgo child is typically a joy to have around the house.

Consider getting them a small pet, like a kitten or a bird,
to teach them about love and responsibility through caring for a helpless creature.
Avoid larger pets like St. Bernards or police dogs,
as a typical Virgo child tends to prefer smaller companions.
They may find ant villages fascinating,
as observing the industrious ants going about their business can captivate their curious and practical minds.

Listen attentively when they speak, as their wisdom often surpasses their years.
Minimize nagging by clearly communicating your expectations,
as they genuinely strive to please when they understand what is required of them.
Remember that their imagination requires nourishment and room to grow;
otherwise, it may wither away.
You need not worry about spoiling them or creating excessive illusions.
Virgo children possess a resilient nature.

Immerse them in beautiful dreams that fill their hearts,
as these enchanting moments of fantasy will provide vital emotional balance in adulthood.
Ensure they have a secret star to wish upon,
for memories of magical daydreams will comfort them in times of future loneliness,
of which there will be many.
Unlike other children, young Virgos may not gravitate towards fairy tales and make-believe;
they are true little realists.
Perhaps that's precisely why they need such stories more than anyone else.

Details of Your Personality, How You Were As A Child

Sun / Leo

The LEO Chid

"Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice, new rattle."

In a world filled with wild adventures and daring escapades,
the Leo child shines brightly, ready to lead the way.

Remember the game you used to play called Follow the Leader?
Well, there was always that one friend who sulked when he didn't get to be leader,
and if that friend happened to lend you money for licorice sticks and Eskimo pies,
chances are, you had a Leo in your neighborhood gang.

The typical lion cub is a bundle of sunshine, radiating joy and playfulness,
but when things don't go their way, storm clouds gather,
accompanied by a thunderous roar or a hurtful withdrawal.
Their enthusiasm and high spirits should not be constantly suppressed,
for doing so can leave deep scars that darken their Sun for years.

Little lions and lionesses have a natural inclination to boss around other children,
which may irk the mothers of more reserved youngsters,
but they should be gently restrained and never harshly scolded in front of their playmates.
The Leo's great pride reacts fiercely to any attack on their vanity, especially in public.

While it's important to nurture the natural leadership qualities in Leo children,
they must also learn that everyone deserves their turn to lead,
even if they possess more strength and confidence than the others.

The lion's sense of justice will usually guide them to understanding,
as they realize the importance of fairness.
These boys and girls have an innate desire to show off,
and if left unchecked, it can become excessive.
The little lion is the one who proudly stands on his head in the schoolyard,
or walks along a fence to impress the girls.
Wise parents will teach their Leo child that showing off is undignified,
and in most cases, this lesson will be well-received,
as Sun-ruled children have an inherent sense of dignity.

You'll notice this regal bearing even in the tiniest Leos,
giving them an air of being the monarch of all they survey.
The term "His majesty, the baby" seems to perfectly describe a Leo infant,
and from an early age, they effortlessly command the attention and adoration of doting parents and friends.
Their pleased and smug expression when strangers fawn over them is unmistakable.

Your Leo child will be more adventurous and willing to take risks than the average youngster,
followed by periodic bouts of laziness when they lie around the house,
too tired to lift a finger, except to request your assistance.
Leave them be and make it clear that no one is their servant.
If they want something, they can retrieve it themselves when their energy returns.
Otherwise, a spoiled Leo child can easily become a tyrant.

There are two kinds of Leo boys and girls.
The first kind are extroverts, exuding cheerfulness, warmth, and generosity,
although they may display occasional pushiness.
The second kind appears quieter and almost timid on the surface,
often a result of their vanity being wounded by domineering parents or neglected attention from siblings.
Yet, they secretly crave power and applause just as much as the others,
and prolonged denial of their needs can lead to untold damage to their Leo ego.

As youngsters, Leo boys may enjoy playing with toy soldiers,
engaging in games of chance and challenge,
while the little Leo girls will embody a sense of ladylike behavior,
albeit with a strong-willed nature.
They may take pleasure in dressing nicely and being told they're pretty,
and giving them responsibilities around the house will make them feel important.
Occasionally, a Leo girl may even exhibit tomboyish tendencies,
but their vanity will eventually prevail, and this phase will pass.
Don't expect these youngsters to relish menial tasks,
as they will rebel against them, so assign them more significant and dignified duties that provide a sense of authority.

Teachers can anticipate Leo students taking on the role of a substitute instructor,
as they relish explaining things to others,
and nothing delights them more than being in the spotlight.
When left in charge at school, a Leo child will eagerly assume disciplinary duties,
though occasionally, their playful nature may transform the classroom into a three-ring circus.

Young Leos possess a quick learning ability, though they can be a little lazy when it comes to studying.
They prefer to rely on their sunny personality and charming demeanor to get by.
Teachers may be momentarily blinded by their smiles and compliments,
and it's not uncommon for little cubs to receive better grades than they truly deserve.
Developing good study habits may require some encouragement,
but instead of forcing them, appealing to their vanity can yield better results.
When they do well, lavish them with genuine praise, ensuring they truly feel the impact.
Light taps on the back won't suffice; their hunger for compliments is insatiable.

Leo children may require more spending money than their frugal peers.
They might generously give away most of their spare change,
but they won't skimp on themselves.
Teach them the Rockefeller children's rule of finance:
"Give some, spend some, save some," especially the last part.

As they grow older, young lions and lionesses will notice the opposite sex much earlier than their peers.
Expect a tumultuous adolescence filled with a rollercoaster of emotions.
Friendships and romances will be brimming with drama,
overflowing with both ecstatic highs and heartbreaking lows.

Leo children simply adore parties,
so grant them plenty of freedom or they'll claim it for themselves.
Harsh orders only serve to crush their pride and dignity.
Instead, build their courage and flatter their ego,
sincerely letting them know that you believe in their abilities,
and they will proudly rise to the occasion for you.

Raising an August child is no easy task.
There will be moments when you feel that your caged lion will never be tamed.
However, with gentle and consistent discipline, along with love and affection,
you hold the keys that unlock their golden heart.
Remember that they may pretend to be brave, but deep down, they fear they aren't.
Hug them tightly every night and love them with all your heart.
