Scorpio children: What you need to know about this little leader

Born between October 23 and November 21, children of the Scorpio zodiac sign are known for their intense drive and brilliant minds. One thing to watch out for is their propensity to become emotionally controlling. They also have a knack for taking revenge on those who have wronged them, so beware of their vengeful streak.

The Scorpio sign tends to go hand in hand with physical prowess, so your child could be a step above average in this respect. This zodiac sign has a pair of piercing eyes that will be put to good use when they provoke staring contests.

1) They can be diligent and passionate in their tasks and in achieving their goals, but not always on their own;

2) Difficult times will come from their arrogance and sense of entitlement;

3) Scorpio girls show a fiery and intense determination from the very beginning;

4) The Scorpio child has a rather volatile behaviour and is always on the move.

You may have to put a lot of effort into their upbringing. Sports are not the only thing they compete in. They may get the idea that the authority of the household is also at stake.

Sometimes you may find it difficult to educate a Scorpio child because of this. They may even show arrogance from time to time.

So be sure to teach them balance and compassion for those around them, especially those in need. Eventually they will need to understand appreciation and respect and that they should be given, not just received.

Everyone makes mistakes. This is especially true for children. When your Scorpio child screws up, the only way to move towards improving their behaviour is through patience and understanding.

You must be compassionate, but also firm in correcting them, because, like all children, they too need affection and care.

If any of the above is missing from your methods, you have the perfect recipe for a frightened, anxious and restless child. Surely that's not something you want right now, is it?

These children tend to keep to themselves and you will almost never hear what is on their minds. You can't say otherwise. If there's something going on in the house, they're sure to know.

It's as if they are clairvoyant. Have problems come up like crazy lately? Is your Scorpio meddling in your affairs trying to give you affection and comfort?

Then you can be sure they know something is wrong. Although they can be volatile in nature, nothing beats their appreciation for family and loved ones.

Their emotions run deep and whenever someone hurts them, they tend to retaliate with a vengeance. Although this is difficult to control, they must be made to understand that such negative behaviour can only invite more turmoil into their lives.

They have the makings of leaders and such behaviour is unbecoming of someone at their level. Their stamina and dexterity extend not only to their bodies, but also to their intellect.

You need to make sure that they are always engaged both mentally and physically if you want your child to develop fully.

A piece of advice? Don't be harsh and don't force a Scorpio child to do anything. Although they may seem like quiet children, you have no idea how intense they are inside.

If you want things to happen your way, you better provide them with solid reasoning and facts, not force them to submit.

They also have a strong interest in psychoactive substances and alcohol, among other possibly dangerous things. Keep them away from anything that could bring them into their power.

A Scorpio's passion also extends to the romantic aspect of their life. From an early age, they may develop an interest in the opposite sex.

While childlike love is a precious and lovely thing to behold, it only means that they may be heartbroken much earlier than other children.

They can be diligent and passionate about their tasks and achieving their goals, but not always on their own. Make sure you are there for them in case they ever fall down. Remind them to never give up and help them achieve their dreams.

These toddlers are masterminds when it comes to cajoling people and taking advantage of them. Since they are tiny babies, this probably means extended playtime or an extra snack.

They show a strong connection with their parents and tend to always fall asleep peacefully only within reach of their beloved mother.

Growing up, a Scorpio will have problems in the self-sufficiency department, emotionally speaking. They may need reassurance and comfort from others quite often.

This zodiac is sometimes quite possessive, so you can be sure that what is theirs must remain so. If others want to share in their joy and activities, these little children will clearly be upset.

Lending out their toys is a definite no-no for them, and will remain so for quite some time.

Your daughter is a passionate girl. The fiery, intense determination she shows allows her to persevere in the face of adversity if it will achieve her goals.

Although she may be indecisive in this respect, and change her mind quite often, she will continue to fight just as diligently, come what may.

Secrecy is not so rare with a Scorpio girl. So discussing freely with her may be a bit difficult, as you won't have much information to go on.

Because she's so good at keeping things to herself, you can be sure she's just as good at hiding things when you play a game or if she wants to play a joke on you.

So, to save yourself trouble, it's best to try the wardrobe first whenever it seems to have disappeared.

The same cannot be said of you when it comes to hiding something. If you hide something from her, you will have a very annoying daughter on your hands.

You will find it difficult when it's time to go to sleep. Darkness is a somewhat mysterious place, isn't it? Well, she definitely thinks so!

When bedtime comes, your child will simply explode with energy and curiosity. The best thing you can do is to be patient and answer her questions as best you can if you want her to go to sleep.

Authority and leadership is something that runs deep in a Scorpio male. The latter is something they tend to strongly desire. They tend to be endowed with abundant prowess and vitality, but this is accompanied by volatile behaviour.

You have to make sure they learn to appreciate and consider those around them, otherwise they will become one of those arrogant, self-righteous kids.

A firm character combined with a lot of love are the prerequisites for the proper upbringing of a Scorpio boy.

Otherwise, you run the risk that he or she will separate from you and end up hiding behind secrets most of the time.

If you make sure that your point of view is understood and he is also aware of your love for him, then you can expect sincerity in return. Personal space is of great importance to him.

You will find that whenever he has problems, he will retreat to his room to get the peace he needs to sort things out. Neglecting his desire for intimacy will break his trust in you. Something quite difficult to regain.

Killing time is not really their thing, as they prefer to be the protagonists most of the time. But you can be sure that their creative side can be appealed to for recreational purposes.

They seem to have an aptitude for creative tasks, so think about giving them tools for drawing or painting, even a drum kit or a toy guitar. That way, they might make it in Hollywood one day, eh?

Productive playtime can also include learning a different language. Since they seem to be so good with words, they should pick it up fairly quickly.

With their strong bodies and competitive spirit, you should consider signing them up for a local sports team. Especially in swimming, as their zodiac belongs to the Water element.

They don't get along with everyone, so don't make them spend time with people they don't like. They will eventually find their own friends, so don't worry.
