Sign: Aries, The Ram
Mar 21 - April 19
Full of energy and enthusiasm, these children make
great leaders. The Aries child is good at organizing
others - guiding them what to do, what they should
play and even how they should think! A natural born
leader with loads of talent and aptitude, Arians are
too aware of their caliber. Very independent, an Aries
child fears nothing. She is creative and inspiring.
On the downside she can be volatile and explosive
especially when she doesn't get her way. The 'I want'
attitude is especially dominant with this sign right
from the start. The big positive is Aries children
are viewed to be ahead of their time! Nurtured right
without being overly pampered your Aries angel can
turn out to be angelic - charming, fun-loving, and
a delight to the parent.

Patience combined with stubbornness sums up this little
angel. The Taurus child is the most stubborn sign
in the zodiac. Yet they are incredibly patient and
persevere to the end to achieve what they want. As
a result they often succeed where others fail. The
Taurus kid is practical and cautious and very loyal
to his friends. This earth child is careful in speech
and action. Since they have fixed ideas about how
things should be, you should encourage your Taurus
child to explore his own creativity in areas that
appeal to him e.g. art, music etc. They also benefit
from physical activity and play. They can be loners,
preferring the company of one or two friends to a
group. Despite the strong stubborn streak and idealistic
nature your Taurus kid is also full of charisma, charm
and shows loyalty to those he loves.

child is apt to be fidgety and restless even as a

and they bore very easily. Constant stimulation and
an explorative environment is a must. They keep you
on your toes once they start talking (which comes
very early to them). Gemini children are inquisitive
beings with a natural thirst for knowledge - they
must know the reason for everything. They can be warm
and sensitive one minute but can turn crafty and manipulative
the next - their 'infamous' dual nature at work! Your
Gemini child has difficulty completing tasks and needs
encouragement and focus to see things through. Allow
your Gemini child to explore and discover who she
is and you have a happy child in your hands. Versatile,
your Gemini kid can be incredibly impressive communicators.
