Raising a Scorpio

OK, I am not one that is into horoscopes and astrology, I only read them for fun. However, after reading the characteristics of a scorpio (and pisces for my daughter), it is my son all the way through. He is extremely strong willed and wants his way. If he doesn't have his way he gets MAD (hence, my post about biting and pinching). I'm not really even sure what I am trying to ask through this post, I guess I just wondering about parents that have scorpio children and your experiences. I know it's silly, but I am just curious. Thanks!

There's a really good book by Linda Goodman (I think) that actuall has sections about the signs & your relationship to them. For example: The Scorpio Child, The Pisces Spouse, etc. It's an old book but I love it.

p.s. I'm a Scorpio and my son is a Pisces....he is very sentimental and emotional and LOVES the water. I tend to be a bit sarcastic (gasp!) and once you tick me off--forget it--forever. But Scorps are loyal friends to the end.

Haha. I am a Scorpio and fit it to a T. I do believe that for some people (not all) the Zodiac can be a pretty accurate description of personalities. I have a great L. book called "The L. Giant Encyclopedia of the Zodiac" which includes descriptions of children's personalities as well, and what types of reassurances/parenting style they respond to best. I've had a few friends with children read the descriptions and they are amazed how accurate it is. It's currently on loan to a friend or I'd put some examples here. It could help you to understand your child's idiosyncrasies a L. better. :)
Good luck with your L. ones!

That is too funny. My daughter, sister and mom are all Scorpios...and each is very strong willed in their own way. My sister being the most strong willed of the 3. My daughter has been strong willed from the beginning..love her to death. She will never be one to be anyone's doormat - has no problem standing up for herself...but she can be extremely generous and loyal as well. Not sure if it really has anything to do with their birth dates, but it is coincidental how many traits they share!! My mom and sister still but heads now and then when they don't get their way with each other, but they have learned to deal with each other much better- took 40+ years- but they love each other.

In my experience... You have to be blunt with a Scorpio. If not... They WILL sting. : )

It's better than a female ADHD w/anxiety Gemini that's beginning the hormone train.

How old is your son? If he's in the age range of 18 - 42 months, I think nearly ALL children are strong willed, bite, and pinch at some time or another! The traits of a Scorpio don't have to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. You may get lucky and he might mellow out a bit, too!

The same description is given for a Taurus , which is me.
I agree with MR though, if he's between 1.5 to 5 yrs that describes every kid on the planet.

I am a scorpio, strong willed and stubborn! I do what I want to do when I want to do it and if someone tells me I can't it makes me even more determined! I am compassionate and giving, but if you cross me I will sting, but rarely hold a grudge!

My daughter is a Scorpio.
I don't put much into those astrology profiles.
I have had many "Scorpio" friends... good friends and I always got along with them. :)

I think kids... ALL go through these phases... of being that way. He is NOT the only one....

Teach him HOW to communicate and the names for 'feelings'... so that he learns that and how to say it. It will make him more emotionally articulate.... in time.... like a rock collecting moss.
AND teach him "coping skills".... so that he learns in time, how to deal... with his frustrations. Even many adults don't know how to do that.
A rock collecting moss.... teaching kids 'skills' for managing their upsets.
Kids do not come automatically "knowing" how to do that...
That is what it is about.

all the best,
Susan

I have two scorpio sons and they are nothing like the description of scorpios except they are smart and old souls. My sons are easy kids to get along with, NEVER had any behavior issues, they never talked back - they always go with the flow. Very flexible and adaptable!

I am a Leo and I am not an attention seeker as it is stated for a Leo. My husband is a pisces and in no way is like the description of a pisces either.

No scorpions here. I can say that the "signs" are just for fun. Making a match is coincedence. My husband and I are opposites. I tend to be more like a virgo. My husband not. Our oldest son is a picses, sign of the fish. The only he matches is that he loved water since he was born. I even had two water sacs in the womb. Other than that, no match. He's 23 now. With our 15 year old, he's a gemini, the twins. No match again. Our triplets are age 6, two boys and a girl. Their personalities are each so different. They are libras, the scales. Not seeing much of a match for any of them for being a libra, except one thing here and there, but no real match for any of their varying personalities. I wouldn't label him a scorpio child. He's just a child with his own unique personality.
