Taurus Parent and Aquarius Child

* As the Taurus parent of an Aquarius child, never forget that while you’re better with things than people, they’re much better with people than things. As an Air sign this youngster is more socially oriented than you. But as an Earth sign your take on life is much more practical and realistic.

* As one of the most conventional of all parents, you’d probably prefer your child to turn out to be ultra normal. But the truth is your Aquarius child was put on this Earth to be different, not to go with the flow, and despite your best efforts to turn them into a mini-you, they’ll always be their own person.

* All teenagers rebel against all parents, but none more so than an adolescent Aquarius child of a Taurus parent. Accepting that fact, then shrugging your shoulders and making the best of things in your usual calm and commonsense way, will help to minimize conflicts and keep your relationship with your child on an even keel.

* If you’re the Taurus mother of an Aquarius child, be prepared for this youngster not to be such a touchy-feely or ‘huggy’ type of person as yourself. Their emotional detachment doesn’t mean they don’t love you. It’s just that expressing feelings is a lot less important to them than to you.

* If you’re a Taurus father, try not to get angry if your head-in-the-clouds Aquarius child rejects your solid material values in favor of a more risky and unorthodox life path. Instead, take a leaf out of their book and be prepared to ‘live and let live’.
