Libra Parent and Capricorn Child

* As the Libra parent of a Capricorn child, you may often think this youngster has so little in common with you, they must come from a different universe!

* Why do most Libra parents try to raise their kids to be their good friends? One reason is because they believe in treating them as equals. But could it also be because they’re a little scared of asserting their authority? Peace loving Libras would rather play the role of ‘anything goes’ parents than have to lay down the law.

* You’re wasting your time Libra, trying to cultivate your Capricorn child’s friendship because that’s not what they need from you. They want you to give them clear boundaries, and to reprimand them when they’re stepping over the line. In other words they want a traditional, even old-fashioned, kind of parent-child relationship, not a progressive one.

* If you’re the Libra mother of a little Capricorn, the first difference between you is that you love to talk while they’re very much a child of few words. The second is that you’re much more warmly affectionate. Coming to terms with this kid’s solitary and self-sufficient disposition might be a struggle at times.

* If you’re a Libra father, you may be a little too laid back to give your ambitious Capricorn child the big push they’re looking for from you to help them get to the top. On the other hand you’ll do a good job of keeping their workaholic tendencies in check by insisting they take more time to relax and enjoy life.
