Understanding Kids Personality by Zodiac Sign: A Comprehensive Guide for Parents
“Well, her child has begun walking at the age of two, and mine cannot even crawl!!”
Sounds familiar?
As parents, comparison to others’ children is an inevitable part of life.
But, sometimes, this comparison loop of timing every milestone leads to an unhealthy obsession. It also creates unnecessary negativity in the minds of parents.
So, are you ready to break free and get the kids’ alignment of stars into the picture, to understand them better?
Yes! ASTROLOGY!
What is astrology?
Consider it like a “cheat sheet” in the sky, to understand your kid’s personality by zodiac signs.
It is believed that during our birth, the position of the celestial bodies at that exact moment shapes our personality.
In layman terms, it is like the map formed by these celestial bodies in the sky that reflect the map of our zodiac signs through stars. Thus, shaping individual personalities!
Astrology and child behaviour
There are four main elements: fire, water, air, and earth, representing 3 zodiac signs in each one of them.
Every sign reflects the characteristics of elements it is a part of.
For instance, fire sign represents passion; water represents emotions; air represents free-spiritedness and earth represents humbleness.
Similarly, the kids falling under the zodiac signs resemble the characteristics represented under each of them!
Assessing children’s zodiac personality traits also opens up their possibility to welcome differences and help them develop at their own pace.
