Aries Child

These kids never stop! They’re as bright as buttons, as perky as poppers and as zesty as zips, and they’re on the go from dawn to dusk. Arian kids think they’ve had a dull day if they’ve dashed around in their tiny tracksuits, scored more goals than Kevin Keegan; bicycled round the block and mowed their mums down with their midget machine guns! Arian energy can be so amazing that it’s like watching a whirlwind whizzing about and if this isn’t enough to help you spot an Arian kid, keep an eye peeled for the plasters because they rush around at the speed of sound, they’re always hurting themselves, and have to be patched up by their parents. So, the average Arian will be enveloped in Elastoplasts! If you think children should be seen and not heard, and preferably sit in a corner buried in a book, you’ve got problems with an Arian kid. Of course, he or she will read books every now and then, because this is an intelligent sign, but most of them like to be out and about, racing hither and thither. When you have one of these diminutive dynamos, you must make sure this astonishing Arian activity is piloted into positive pursuits. Even if you can’t stand sporty things, you’ve got to get your kid to join junior sports clubs, climb conifers, have fun with a football, and generally unleash all that Arian energy. By now, you might be peering at your little lamb, and wondering why he or she is always so quiet.

Some baby Rams seem subdued, and don’t rave about rugby or flip about football. They will love building things instead and are as happy as can be if they have Meccano or Lego sets. At school, Arian children are more active with their feet than their brains. Usually, they excel on the sports field rather than in the classroom, and can become heroes of the hour, winning races and collecting cups for cricket. The best bet for a young Aries is to give him or her a playroom. Then your kid can make a mighty great mess, but it won’t matter. Even as tiny tots, these children have competitive spirits, and will love staging races with their mates. They’ll also love plastic guns, toy forts and dolls, and will adore playing cowboys and Indians, or cops and robbers. Life can be one long laugh with these little lambs. They have a fabulous feeling for fun and can clown around to get you giggling. One Arian called Robert used to have his sister in stitches when they played football. In between each kick he’d toss himself on to the turf. then leap up, still laughing. If you can encourage this lively side of your little lamb, you’ll bring up a radiant Ram. But if you suffocate and stifle your sheep, or restrict your Ram, you’ll be in danger of acquiring an aggressive, argumentative, antagonistic Arian.

Mishandled minor Martians can be mini monsters. You must show your kid what’s what, and exercise discipline when it’s demanded. After all, you don’t want to bring up a brat, do you, when you could have an adorable adult Arian!
