The Scorpio child is a sensitive child who needs very tactful, but firm handling during the formative years. First and foremost, this child must be especially encouraged to mix with other children – preferably those of very strong personality who will be able to stand up to Scorpio. Likewise, as this child needs to cultivate the ability to share what he or she has with others, and parents must be very firm in insisting that toys are not held on to for too long, but passed on to others who may be in need of them.
Scorpio children are very keen on pets, and this enables them to show the protective side of their nature.
These are children who can become very angry and care must be taken to bring their temper under control.
At school, Scorpio children will do you and themselves credit; but do not prolong their education beyond the stage absolutely necessary for a good grounding for a career. The sooner these children get to grips with the world at large the better. They will make their way ahead all the more surely for having to fend for themselves earlier than other children.
As they grow into adolescence, they will become more and more self-controlled, and more secretive; and parents must learn not to pry unduly into what they are thinking or doing. Scorpio children deeply resent this intrusion into their privacy. Left alone, they will not do anything to be ashamed of, but if provoked into rebellion because parents become too suspicious, they will deliberately do things that will be frowned upon.
They too are very suspicious, and uncannily discerning about the relationships between their parents. So, if you marriage is not very happy, you will have to be especially discreet in keep this fact from a Scorpio child. They need to feel emotionally secure in their home life – a broken home can do much to ruin the Scorpio character.
