the child of aries
march 21 to april 20
the child of aries is the most precocious and brilliant child of all twelve of the sign-characters.
these children often show the beginning of several talents, which if encouraged and developed from the start,(instead of exploited), may foster a creative trend that will be valuable by the time they are of a suitable age for advanced work.
aries children should not be encouraged to show off. the pleasant aura of adult attention causes them to display their talents too freely, and to tell exaggerated stories.if they are too harshly reprimanded,it will hurt their pride, which is very strong. yet a gentle restraint must be used. first, keep exhibitions of their marked ability strictly among competitive groups of gifted children. they must never compete with adults, no matter how high the standard of juvenile talent. the second problem is to impress the importance of accuracy in narration. imaginative children, much as these are, have a tendency“build things up.”try to teach them that a good story is interesting enough without embellishment, and the best story is the simplest. the point is that children will not continue to tell untruths when they are positive that there is absolutely nothing to fear.
a certain amount of freedom will do this type of child good. they like to try their own wings, and they resent too much supervision.if only for the mistakes that they will make,and he resulting lessons, they should be encouraged at times to guide themselves.
the parent of this child must develop rather than exploit the talents. there is so wide a range in aries grumps between the noble and the inferior that the parent has plenty of material but a difficult task.
