About the Sagittarius Parent

Cheerful and Optimistic


As a Sagittarius parent, you warm your children's lives with optimism and good humor, and you teach them by example about the excitement of exploring the world. You're an adventurer at heart, and you guide your children in greeting life with the same open-minded curiosity you possess.

Since freedom is one of your primary needs as an individual, you're likely to be a permissive parent who doesn't limit your children unnecessarily. You recognize the importance of certain boundaries and routines, but in general, your philosophy centers on finding truth and meaning through personal experience. You want your kids to discover the world and to draw their own conclusions based on what they find.

Travel, whether real or vicarious, is an excellent way to expose your children to customs and habits different from their own. With your universal outlook, you can help them find connections which at first may not be obvious. You'll invite your diverse array of friends to interact with your children, and you'll encourage your kids in turn to ask questions and make conversation.

You know that education and experience can be achieved in a multitude of ways, not just through traditional schooling, and you'll pass your knowledge and ideas on to your children as much as possible. Just be sure that your personal search for the big picture doesn't lead to self-righteous or dogmatic behavior. Your children will be most inspired by a truly open mind, not by an intellect that believes it already has all the answers.


About the Leo Child
Lionhearted Loyalty


Warmth, loyalty, and generosity are just a few of your Leo child's many shining characteristics. Leo children are enthusiastic and affectionate, and they experience life with the whole of their enormous hearts.

Sensitive, proud, and often just a wee bit vain, Leo children seem lionhearted on the outside, but they're actually rather vulnerable emotionally. One harsh word can knock a Leo's self-confidence right off balance, so you'll have to be careful about how you talk to your Leo son or daughter, especially when it's time for discipline.

Leo's primary needs include attention and approval, and a Leo child will do what it takes to secure the appreciation of his parents, friends, and anyone else around. These little ones have a natural dramatic flair. Your child might treat you to impromptu performances from an early age, and you may notice him looking into the mirror often or dressing himself with a colorful sense of style.

Just as criticism can wound their souls, Leo children thrive on compliments and recognition of their accomplishments. And they're likely to rack up accolades throughout childhood and into adulthood: Your little Leo could easily become the star performer in his school choir, drama group, soccer team, or any other venue that allows him to shine.

Be sure to reward your child for his many strengths, including his bone-deep sense of loyalty and morality. He may not realize that these internal gifts are even more important and admirable than his ability to impress others with his humor or good looks.





Mommy and Baby


Your Leo child's high energy and innate love of adventure delight you from the start, since these qualities mirror your own. You adore watching her blow the down off her first dandelion, romp with her first puppy, or make her first goal on the soccer team. Your little one is thoroughly engaged with the world, and you're right there on the sidelines of her childhood, cheering as she tackles one new life experience after another.

Be sure to give your little one plenty of warmth, praise, and affection, because although Leo children seem strong and courageous, they also crave closeness and approval. This shouldn't be a tall order, since you share such a natural affinity. Your little Leo is happy to explore this bright, colorful world with you, from the beauty of the outdoors to the pleasure of a ripe watermelon in summer, from the drama of a live performance to the splendor of a spectacular sunset, and more.
