THE SIGNS AS PARENTS

Aries - As a parent, you'll help your children be both ambitious and humble. Aries is a fire sign, so your passion will drive your kids' success. The kids will look forward to your impulsive road trips. An aries' stubbornness might harm the relationship with your children. If you're too tough on them, they might throw their hands up and rebel. Remember that you're a ram. Butting heads is natural for you.

Taurus - A very affectionate parent, the taurus likes to create as much security and contentment in the home as possible. You love staying indoors and spending time with family. A taurus parent is probably more patient than most people. But — like your symbol the bull — you're stubborn and prone to fights. Though you may argue frequently, your kids will always know you're faithful to them.

Gemini - As a gemini, you're an impulsive, fun and inspiring caregiver. You love to take your children to museums and parks to keep them as mentally and physically active as possible. When your children ask the tough questions, you answer with the logic characteristic of a gemini. You want to teach your kids all that you know. The only drawback to your parenting style? You tend to be anxious, so if your children hurt your feelings, you might put on a front and hide your pain. But children have a way of knowing when something is wrong, and your house might become tense with what goes unsaid.

Cancer - A cancer parent loves family traditions. You like to make pizza in the kitchen on Sundays and carve out Fridays for movie night. You're game for any kind of family activity like board games.To you, what's important is being together. The only drawback to your need for inclusion is that you might suffocate your children.

Leo - As the proud lion, you'll love bragging about your children's accomplishments. You're indulgent, and you like to buy your children whatever they desire. You want to give your children the world. But you can also be arrogant. In your worst moments, you lose sight of your children's needs while trying to satisfy your own. Small arguments are personal attacks on your self-worth, which you guard closely. But despite your flaws, your children will treasure your loyalty and fierce protection.

Virgo - With a virgo as parent your kids will learn responsibility from the chores you dole out. You're a curious, selfless parent, and you respect your children's opinions. From you, they learn to value what they give the world. At your worst, you're picky and critical. Your children complain about your standards. But at the end of the day you're only overly attentive because you care so dearly about your children and would do anything for them.

Libra - Libras are lenient. You cave easily; you'll give your child the toy he or she so desperately wants. But your devotion to your children's needs extends beyond the small stuff: you seek out the best education you can afford. You're also very chill, so your children tell you everything — there are no secrets in your family. But all your attention comes at a cost. You expect your children to give back, and when they don't, you might feel deflated.

Scorpio - As a scorpio, you love to keep your children occupied. The scorpio parent also loves to create a balanced life, and your children will benefit from healthy meals and enough exercise to send them off to a peaceful sleep. You value family time and love to keep everyone close. But your insistence on maintaining a balanced lifestyle could backfire. Your children might find your involvement stressful and work too hard in school to satisfy your expectations.

Sagittarius - The sagittarius parent loves life. You only hope that your children will inherit your enthusiasm, so you take them on as many trips as you can afford. For you, travel is as much of an education as regular school, and your children learn outside the box. Be careful, though: you don't want your children to disrespect formal education. Sometimes you forget your role as a parent and talk too freely around your children.

Capricorn - Capricorns are hard-working, and their persistence extends to their parenting. You love giving your kids anything educational like books, movies, instructive toys. Like any parent, you want the best for your children, but you have no problem saying no. You take parenting as a very serious business, but remember not to be too serious. Otherwise your children might become a stern and uncompromising.

Aquarius - The aquarius parent is progressive and open-minded. As an aquarius parent you will want to be your child's best friend. You will tell your children crazy stories about your past and hope that they have as much of a humanitarian bent as you do. Even though you love to communicate, you can often be insensitive to what other people are feeling. The aquarius sometimes lacks emotional intelligence, which can be damaging to a parent-child relationship.

Pisces - The dreamy pisces parent encourages their children to express creativity wherever possible. Above creativity, though, the pisces parent values kindness. People often describe your children as angels. Pisces can also be serious. Remember that even a shark is a fish. And when it comes to protecting their children pisces don't mess around. They are unrelenting and would do anything to ensure their children's safety and happiness. Pisces is also lenient. But lenience isn't all good, though: pisces parents need to make sure they're not being too easygoing.
