Young Librans are very impressionable, and because of this, care must be exercised in the kind of children they mix with. They easily come under the influence of their companions and also become much too attached to them. In other respects, though, Libran children are easy to handle, and a delight to parents and teachers. Their desire to please, plus the fact that these youngsters are by nature amiable and well-mannered, not given to over-boisterous behavior and not inclined to become self-willed, or too venturesome, means that they give those who have them in their care very little cause for worry.
But Libran children must be encouraged to persevere with their studies, and also to develop tidy habits and punctual ways.
It will be very hard to avoid being over-indulgent with them: they cast that magic spell of charm over everyone tight from the cradle.
The main problem that those who have the care of Libran children have to face is that the Libran child is lacking in self-reliance; and therefore must be encouraged to think and act for himself or herself instead of constantly appealing for support from others. Thus they must be given responsibilities and made to face up to them resolutely. Bearing in mind that the strongest urge in Librans is to get through life with as little difficulty as possible those who are their parents and teachers must be on the alert for the Libra child’s tactics for extricating themselves from awkward situations – their tendency to shift the blame for their misdemeanors on to others.
