The Gemini child: What you need to know about this little charmer

The Gemini zodiac sign is for those born between May 21 and June 21. Their traits revolve mainly around their charisma, intellect and boundless energy.

Gemini children tend to realise their full potential when they begin to use their imperfections to their advantage. Their abundant energy makes them crave adventure and excitement, so if you want a happy Gemini, don't you dare tie them down to one place!

1) They are amazing at talking and interacting with people of all ages;

2) Difficult moments will come from the fact that they get bored easily with everything;

3) The Gemini girl is a little explorer who can't sit still for a moment;

4) The Gemini child is witty, intelligent and shows a special sense of humour.

Raising this child will mean, more often than not, that you will have to run constantly if you want to keep up with them. Even if you don't want to, you will have to do this sport for as long as you have a Gemini child.

Taking it easy is almost impossible for a Gemini. They simply have too much explosive energy to handle at times.

This is also reflected in the fact that they cannot do one task at a time. Instead, they end up choosing about 7 things to do at once - Napoleon would be proud!

Gemini's assets are often their social skills, sharp mind and endless reserves of energy. Because of the name of the sign, it is logical that duality in their persona is present, so you'd better get used to it.

However, it is not all bad. This side effect of the Gemini zodiac extends to your skills and abilities.

Communication is also one of their favourite activities, so you won't have to worry too much about them learning to write or speak. They have a knack for anything that involves letters and words.

The comedy is strong here. Their imagination tends to mix with reality, which makes for some pretty rich stories and situations straight out of a storybook, but that simply means that your child will never run out of interesting things to do.

If you ever hinder their imagination or the fantasy world in their head, you are likely to turn your happy Gemini child into a melancholic and sad child. Instead, try to nurture that originality as best you can.

When someone denies the value of their imagination, Geminis retreat to the safe premise of their magical castle so that no one will harm them.

A disadvantage of Geminis is that they are never on time for any appointment... ever. Not that they intend to, but they always bump into someone or something along the way.

Because of their energy, they are always restless and drifting. So having a conversation without interruptions is almost impossible when it comes to Geminis.

That and also the fact that they are perceptive enough to already come to the conclusion of an issue, perhaps even before it starts, so why waste time talking about it? Get straight to the point.

From an early age, a Gemini will be aware of their own intellect and will try to nurture it as best they can. Mainly, always looking for new ways to have fun and not get bored, but the ingenuity behind it is quite brilliant for their age.

After a few quick years, your child will be tucked into the bookshelves in your living room trying to learn as much as he or she can.

It is not only a thirst for knowledge, but also a desire to be constantly on the move and to do something to keep from getting bored.

Gemini parents will need as much energy as their baby, otherwise they will find themselves exhausted most of the time.

These children cannot sit still and most of the time there is no real reason for this.

This little girl can drive you crazy from time to time. She just wants to know everything and this will push her to explore the house non-stop.

If she can't get up on the shelf by herself, you can be sure that she will use the rest of the furniture in the room to do so.

On top of that, if he doesn't understand something, he will bombard you with questions until you explain it properly.

Luckily, though, you have the good old Internet on your side, so there's nothing your girl can ask you that you can't answer.

This side of a Gemini girl should not be neglected, as it is closely related to her overall drive, determination and cheerfulness.

As the years go by, you'll notice that he's always dabbling in different subjects. Some of them are even related to science. One thing alone is not enough to satisfy her curiosity and keep her entertained.

There is something about a Gemini's fiery passion that makes people rally around them. Your daughter may be no different.

She might even be the star of a school play, with the spotlight constantly on her. She has a way with words that makes everyone want more, so you will often find her in the middle of meetings.

She lacks a little patience, especially with those who disagree with her. Others may consider her brash, pretentious or insensitive because of this, but she can't help it.

In fact, this tends to hurt your Gemini girl, so be sure to stand by her side with some loving cuddles and the wise words that go with them.

Having one Gemini kid is basically like having two at the same time. Twice as many problems in one child, congratulations!

Two little people live in your child and their personalities can be so different that they can seem like polar opposites. You will have to practice patience above all else if you don't want to drive yourself crazy in the parenting process.

On the positive side, they will have an intellect to match the difficulty of their upbringing. Alongside this, there is also the drive to learn and nurture that brilliant mind.

So make sure you tell him bedtime stories every night, even before naptime. This will also teach him about words and communication, so the more you read to him, the quicker you'll hear him start to talk.

Another method they will use to tire you out is their peculiar humour. It's not that they want to wear you out, but that they love their jokes and pranks.

As time goes by and your child starts to reach adolescence, you will notice that he has somehow acquired an aptitude for multitasking, which may seem strange, since he didn't have it before. But now he can do at least two things at once while paying perfect attention to both. Amazing!

These children seem to have a knack for handling technology. So most of the time what gets stolen is a personal computer. Especially if they discover what video games are.

Beware, they might even become addicted if you don't divide their tasks properly throughout the day.

The best way to make them spend their time in an enjoyable and productive way at the same time would be to exploit their creative side.

Try giving them some toys with musical instruments, maybe a drum set or a small toy electric guitar. It's sure to drive you and the neighbours crazy, but at least they'll be doing something with it.

You should also think about signing them up for acting classes or enrolling them in school plays from time to time. The Gemini actor in them will shine through.

Socialising is also one of their thrills and joys. They love it, so make sure you put your child in a suitable environment for communication as early as possible.
