Capricorn Parent and Capricorn Child

* As the Capricorn parent of a Capricorn child, you could be forgiven for thinking this kid is a little clone of yourself since they resemble you in so many ways.

* For you, having a Capricorn child is a training course in self-awareness because every quality – and failing – you recognize in this youngster is one that will also belong to you. If you’re full of admiration for their responsibility and strong work ethic, you’re effectively giving yourself a big pat on the back. If it sometimes bothers you that they’re overly cautious and pessimistic, then take a look in the mirror because others will see you that way too! 

* Maintaining discipline over your little Capricorn is the least of your worries in this unusually harmonious parent-child relationship, since they do a great job of disciplining themselves. What you need to be more concerned about is that they may actually be too rigidly self-controlled. By always putting on a brave face they’re trying to appear sensible and grown-up. But in reality they’re simply bottling up fears and resentments that could cause problems for them later down the line.

* If you’re the Capricorn mother of a Capricorn child, be a role model to your child for effectively expressing – rather than suppressing – important emotions.

* If you’re a Capricorn father, the good news is that your Capricorn child has inherited your worldly ambitiousness and determination to slowly work their way up to the top of the ladder. The bad news is that they may drive themselves far too hard in the effort to match your achievements.
