Capricorn Parent and Gemini Child

* As the Capricorn parent of a Gemini child, you’ll have to adjust some of your core beliefs and attitudes to do the best job of raising this freedom loving youngster!

* For you, being a good parent means maintaining a well structured, carefully organized routine because you believe this is what suits all children best. But Geminis are the exception to the rule! Because Gemini kids thrive best on variety, always doing things in the same old way is excruciatingly boring for them – and when they get bored, they can be incredibly mischievous!

* Don’t play the heavy-handed parent with your Gemini child! When you need to discipline them, do it with a touch of humor and avoid talking down to them. The more willing you are to treat them as a little adult (even if they don’t behave like one!), the more cooperative they’re going to be. The more you try to control them, the more they’re going to rebel.

* If you’re a Capricorn mother, you take your parenting responsibilities very seriously, and a little too seriously for your Gemini child. They don’t care a jot if you get some things badly wrong. Because what they want most from you is friendship, joy and laughter, by lightening up a bit you’ll make them love you much more.

* If you’re a Capricorn father, getting your Gemini child to fulfill the high aspirations you have for them to reach the top in life will be a big challenge. Because material rewards are less important in their eyes than having a good time, fun will always take precedence over ambition and hard work for them.
