Pisces Parent and Cancer Child

* As the Pisces parent of a Cancer child, you will instinctively experience a strong emotional bond with this kind-hearted youngster as they take after you in so many ways.

* Your little Cancerian has inherited your ‘sensitivity gene’! So just like you, they’re deeply hurt by things that aren’t a big deal to most other people but which you can easily empathize with because they affect you exactly the same way.

* If you’re the Pisces mother of a Cancer child, you’re ideally suited to handling their frequent emotional ups and downs – just as they are to coping with yours! When either of you is worried or upset, the other instinctively knows the reason why, without the need for any explanations. Your mutual empathy forms a power link between you that few other parent-child combinations enjoy.

* Be careful though, not to turn your little Crab into a cry baby! Because too much sympathy and hand holding can be just as bad as not enough, help your young Cancerian to gradually learn how to put on a brave face rather than always wearing their heart on their sleeve.

* If you’re a Pisces father, you can easily identify with your Cancer child’s shyness and timidity, so you’re unlikely to push them into being more sociable and outgoing when they don’t want to. That takes the pressure off them when they’re little, but unless you teach them how to mix more freely, they’ll be unable to successfully handle themselves in the world when they’re older.
