Parenthood is always a challenge, but some zodiac signs are easier to raise than others. Pisces, Scorpio, Gemini, Aries and Sagittarius will have you running to the ER for broken bones and broken hearts. But it’s not all chaos, let’s learn about what you can do to help your wild child grow up strong and healthy.
Pisces: Too Many Feelings!
Why a Pisces Child is Great:
Pisces kids are creative and thoughtful. They are the type to melt your heart with their deep love of animals and nature. They are at their best when they are around people they love and feel safe with.
Hardest Part of Parenting a Pisces:
Pisces people tend to absorb the emotions of those around them. Because of this tendency, they will be going to their caregivers for help dealing with not just their own emotions but the emotions of everyone else around them!
How to Be the Best Parent to a Pisces:
This is a call to do some deep emotional healing yourself. You simply cannot follow the old rule of never letting your kids see your emotions. A Pisces kid will feel your anger and sadness no matter how hard you try to cover it up. Instead, learn how to communicate your feelings. Lead by example and show your child how to process emotions.
Scorpio: Look Out Teenage Angst!
Why a Scorpio Child is Great:
Scorpio kids are smart and observant. They have a dry and dark sense of humor, even from a young age. These kids tend to be a bit macabre, so Halloween is all the more fun with a Scorpio in your family.
Hardest Part of Parenting a Scorpio:
Scorpios can be deceivingly easy to raise when they are small children, but beware because there is so much more than you are seeing on the surface. These dark little water signs have a tendency to hold their feelings in. However, when they become teenagers they are going to let you know just how much they distrust the world… and their parents!
Scorpio Mothers: How to Be One and How to Live with One
How to Be the Best Parent to a Scorpio:
It’s important to believe and affirm your Scorpio child’s feelings, even if you think it’s a silly emotion. If you dismiss or poke fun at their feelings, that shows them that you are not a safe person to experience their emotions with. And if they can’t feel safe expressing their emotions with you as a child, they won’t change that tune when they’re teenagers!
Gemini: Hey, Come Back Here!
Why a Gemini Child is Great:
Gemini is a playful and curious air sign known for their loquacious nature. They are smart and funny, and they will keep you on your toes. Be prepared for lots of laughs and silliness with a Gemini kid.
Hardest Part of Parenting a Gemini:
These kids are known for having many interests—this week it’s ballet, next week it’s the drums and the week after that is macrame. So be prepared for the battle of “you have to go to this class, we signed up for a whole session!”
How to Be the Best Parent to a Gemini:
Gemini’s are natural learners and explorers, so choosing one interest and sticking with it is never going to fly with this kid. You’ll need to pick your battles because there are times when you’ll need to put your foot down, but other times it will be in your best interest to trust your child to make their own decisions (and deal with the consequences of them).
Aries: Ouch, That Hurt!
Why an Aries Child is Great:
These fire sign kids are energetic and love to play. They love sports, games, and the outdoors, so if you’re an outdoorsy and adventurous family, this is the best kind of child to have. You’ll be awed by the spunk these kids have as well. They are the type to stick up to the school bully.
Hardest Part of Parenting an Aries:
This is the child that will spend your savings on emergency room visits because they love adrenaline and physical activity. Broken bones and scars are par for the course for Aries. As toddlers, their independent nature will have them using the word “no” amply, and as a teenager they will demand independence.
How to Be the Best Parent to an Aries:
There is one rule you must follow: put your Aries child in sports—lots of sports! Even if they grow to love an individual sport like gymnastics or swimming, be sure to sign them up for team sports as well. In team sports they can learn the value of working with others to achieve a common goal. Learning how to be a team player is going to be instrumental in teaching them how to grow into a happy, healthy adult.
Sagittarius: Because I said so!
Why a Sagittarius Child is Great:
Sagittarius children are fun, silly, smart and adventurous. This fire sign is known for its love of world travel, immersion into a topic, and higher education. They are big thinkers and value learning, honesty and exploration.
Hardest Part of Parenting a Sagittarius:
The old rules will never apply to these curious and intelligent children, so leave “because I said so” in the past. If there is a rule in your household, it must make sense, otherwise you can expect this child to break it.
Sagittarius Parents’ Guide: Inspiring Independence in Your Children
How to Be the Best Parent to a Sagittarius:
Prioritize play, adventure, and honesty in the raising of this child. Never play the “my way or the highway” game with a Sagittarius child because they will happily choose the highway. This is the kind of child who will make you question everything you once thought was true, so instead of digging your heels in, allow yourself to grow and change alongside your child.
