The little Taurus is generally strong and healthy. A sturdy and passionate child, he or she will be staid, methodical, critical, practical, cautious and dependable. It will be necessary from an early age for any caregiver to develop the will of the Taurus youngster along the right lines. If not taught to be "masters" of themselves, Taurus children are apt to embark on lives of self-gratification upon reaching the age of maturity. In turn, this can result in much unhappiness. There is a tendency in the little Taurus to be somewhat cruel to animals and such behavior must be approached with care and tact. It is possible to reason with a Taurus child, but only in calm fashion. It is virtually impossible to attempt to drive this little one against his or her will, since this is often an exceedingly stubborn and high-tempered child.When faced with opposition, it is not unusual for the little Taurus to become very furious, apt to fly into a rage very quickly. At such times, children governed by this Sign may be totally uncontrollable. Corporal punishment should be avoided with the Taurus child and he or she needs to be spoken to and made to realize the folly of his or her actions only after the anger and passion has been spent. Although the little Taurus will be headstrong, he or she will invariably be susceptible to kindness at all times and often, it will take nothing more than a simple hug to turn the tide. Fond of books and learning, the Taurus child should be provided the best of educational facilities and encouraged to take advantage of such opportunities. Proper education will become an important factor in the battles this child will inevitably encounter during his or her lifetime. When a Taurus child learns something, it is a lesson well-learned. During the school years, there will rarely be what could be described as a "meteoric" rise to the top of the class which may be exhibited by some other children of the Zodiac, but steady progress will usually be made and may prove to be more beneficial at the end of the day. New skills tend to be learned step-by-step with this child. Basically, this will be a carefree youngster with a happy disposition, but one who is apt to indulge to excess...particular with food and drink. Believing they are entitled to partake as much as they desire of whatever takes their fancy is an injurious trait of Taurus childen and should be firmly and consistently discouraged.
The Taurus personality is a fixed one and this child may not find it easy to mix freely with his or her peers. All too often, the little Taurus is perfectly content with solitude, thoroughly enjoying his or her own company. The unwillingness to share with others also creates an additional problem in this area for the young Taurus. Thus, he or she needs to be encouraged to make friends and engage in mutual play. Early exposure to other children is likely to be very beneficial, as will a reward system which encourages sharing and tolerance. Left to his or her own devices, the Taurus child can easily become the proverbial "I want" of the Zodiac and greed may prove to be extremely problematic. A true understanding of charity and the act of giving may be an appropriate lesson. The setting aside of some portion of this child's allowance for long-term savings and small donations to those in need would be good policies for this materialistic child to practice.
It should be noted that there is a danger...particularly among the boys who fall under the jurisdiction of Taurus...to be combative with playmates. Once entering into a fight, the Taurus child seldom knows when to stop. There may also be a distinct lack of moral courage with the little Taurus. If questioned too closely, he or she is apt to seek refuge in prevarication in order to escape punishment for any wrongdoing and the best course of action for any caregiver under such circumstances would be to lead through kindness, rather than the employment of force and rigid discipline.
Taurus children like consistency in their young lives and schedules are essential. This little one will be no taker of risks. He or she will thrive on having mealtimes, bedtime and playtime all at consistent hours during the day. Since this child has a fondness for clothes and food, a dress-up box or toy kitchen make for excellent activities and since he or she is often blessed with a lovely speaking and singing voice, the little Taurus may well enjoy drama, music classes or participation in a choir. In short, the necessity to entertain a little Taurus should never present a problem. Although he or she is frequently alone (usually by choice), this child is seldom lonely, being far too would up in some type of sport (basketball or football being the favored sporting activities for boys) or some form of artistic endeavor. Nonetheless, this youngster often possesses a lazy streak that he or she will need help in overcoming. Gentle encouragement is the key to changing such lethargy by turning the child's interest to something which will bring stimulation. One should be prepared to buy lots of toys for the little Taurus. This is usually a very materialistic child and possessions will make he or she "feel good." In fact, this child may become an avid collector who enjoy having "sets" of things...matchbox cars, model figures or lots of small dolls, for example. Being a a practical child who is fond of possessions, the little Taurus may respond well to completing chores for an allowance.
A reliable type of child, the little Taurus is able to wait when told to do so and can be depended upon to finish an important task or errand. However, in order to be at his or her best, a stable and secure background will be essential. Emotional security is paramount to this child and any form of change...particularly change over which he or she has no control...will frighten the Taurus youngster. Common sense is perhaps the greatest asset of Taurus children. Since the mind of this little one is logical and methodical, the resolution of any problem in a systematic and sensible way comes naturally. However, this will be a somewhat inflexible child who will often need reminding that even plans which have been carefully made may, on occasion, go awry and necessitate change. Perhaps the most obvious potential problem for children governed by this Sign is selfishness (which usually goes hand-in-hand with possessiveness). In addition, this characteristic is frequently accompanied by obsessive behavior and jealousy...particuarly when a parent pays attention to anyone else. This may result in the occasional show of vindictiveness which seems to materialize out of nowhere. Younger siblings often bear the brunt of such behavior and it is important that an older Taurus child be given an equal amount of attention as that paid to any younger brothers or sisters, especially newborns. On the more positive side, this negative trait also manifests itself in the form of a very affectionate child and one who genuinely enjoys being in the company of his or her family members.
Blessed with an abundance of natural charm, soft-spoken voice and basically gentle demeanour, the Taurus child can exhibit much sympathetic understanding toward those of whom he or she is fond. The baby Taurus is likely to smile at a very early age and usually appears most content. However, he or she may attempt to walk later than is usually expected and some Taurus babies are even lazy at trying to crawl. It should be noted that this is not due to a lack of any physical skill, but attributed more to an inherent liking for taking things easy. Encouragement should be given for the little Taurus to engage in physical exercise. With an inborn love of the outdoors, gardening might be a favored hobby, for example. Such an activity will also help the Taurus child to combat the tendency toward being overweight. Since this little one is far from a fussy eater and apt to over-indulge in food, such proclivity needs to be discouraged from an early age. If left unchecked, it may easily become an ingrained habit.
Given the right circumstances, the little Taurus will grow up to be an inspirational and artistic individual, provided he or she is given plenty of time during the early years to grasp a new fact or situation. Taurus children also tend to do better in a rural environment rather than an urban location. Since the Taurus child is a far-thinker who usually begins to plan a career at an early age, the maturity to adulthood is likely to bring ample displays of ambition, coupled with a good business sense and excellent business abilities. Surprisingly, the future of this child often turns out to be exactly what he or she had in mind from the very start. Being by nature faithful, romantic and loyal, there is every reason to believe that the Taurus youngster will develop into a person who can look forward to a rewarding career and a happy, stable family life. The girls governed by this Sign will also make for excellent home-makers.
The Taurus girl will probably be very fond of primping and posing before the mirror. A label-conscious young lady when it comes to clothes, she may well have a penchant for choker necklaces since Taurus rules the neck and throat. Any money she accumulates will doubtless be spent at the mall and this girl can be somewhat self-indulgent at times. Here, the appreciation for sweets and luxuries could easily result in over-indulgence and stomach aches. Still, this is a practical and stable young lady who is extremely patient and dependable when it relates to personal goals. Her sense of ambition will ensure that she is both hard-working and helpful to others. In terms of after school activities (aside from shopping expeditions), she might participate in golf or tennis. With a tendency to be rather stubborn, this girl certainly holds a fixed opinion and is generally determined to achieve any set goals. She has no problem with following through and compelting projects that others may have found too difficult or boring and as a result, will be a good student destined to "go places."
The Taurus boy is usually big, brawny and bull-headed. Almost certainly stubborn, he likes to do things his own way...but his own way can be rather nice. This lad can appear exceedingly opinionated but he is a patient soul who is both tolerant and dependable. He will pursue goals with perseverance and much determination, and his persistence will be evidence in school work. In the Taurus boy's opinion, good grades will get him into a good school and that brings him all the more closer to all the good things that money can buy...a shiny new car or expensive boat, for example. This youngster can be self-indulgent, preferring luxuries and the finer things of life, but he is willing to put in the hard work to earn these indulgences. Thus, the Taurus boy understands the value of networking and will always associate with the "right crowd." He also knows how to get ahead better than most his age, but will be subtle about it. In his leisure time, this young lad will probably enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking or anything that allows him to get close to the Earth. A neat, clean and parent-pleasing fellow, the Taurus boy is also essentially a "man's man," which tends to produce a winning combination.

Aries Parent/Taurus Child: Natives of Aries tend to go too fast...natives of Taurus tend to be somewhat slow. Therefore, with some effort from both sides, this combination should be able to find a common ground. Since the Taurus child refuses to be rushed and is inherently stubborn, such behavior may leave the Aries parent fuming, screaming and engaged in shouting, all of which will be totally ignored by the little Taurus. In other words, there could be something of a battle of wills concerning this relationship, since both are very strong characters whose wills are exerted in very different ways. Nevertheless, the Aries parent will provide much enthusiasm and energy to the Taurus child and Aries' love of the arts could do much to encourage the development of any skills the little Taurus might possess in this field. The Ruling Planet of Venus, associated with love, peace and beauty, usually makes the children of Taurus even-tempered, agreeable and full of joy. However, they can on occasion be stubborn, particularly when their desires or wishes are thwarted. Since Taurus is one of the three Earth Signs (together with Virgo and Capricorn), any child governed by this element needs to be taught while very young to overcome bouts of depression and feelings of inadequacy that he or she is bound to experience from time-to-time. Earth children should be encouraged to laugh things off during such circumstances, rather than taking everything to heart so seriously. Solitude is also very apparent with the children of Earth and they often need to be somewhat pushed in the direction of making friends. Far-thinkers, these little ones will begin planning their careers while still quite young. Surprisingly, such a career frequently turns out to be exactly what the child had planned. The gift of a Taurus child is the ability to calm, soothe and find comfort for others.

Journalism - Entertainment - Agriculture - Nursing - Clerical/Secretarial Work
Taurus Parent/Taurus Child: With two headstrong individuals in one household, this combination is sure to create at least a few problems, particularly if there happens to be a conflict of interests. Nevertheless, this parent and child will share a mutual appreciation for the finer things of life. Good food, music and the general comforts of a nice home will go a long way toward ensuring a congenial domestic atmosphere. The love of luxury inherent in the Taurus child will be enhanced and encouraged within this relationship. Although the Taurus parent will need to guard against stagnation and/or becoming too set in his or her ways, the inevitable rebellious adolescent phase of a Taurus child will be sure to result in a healthy shake-up of any adult complacency.
Gemini Parent/Taurus Child: The flirty and flighty Gemini adult in this relationship, coupled with the accompanying hectic social schedule, may prove somewhat unsettling to any peace-loving Taurus child. The little Taurus craves comfort and security with few interruptions. However, any home run by a Gemini is sure to be filled with callers and weekend guests. Nonetheless, beneath his or her stubborn exterior, the little Taurus does find enjoyment in the company of others and takes great pleasure in the fine food and extragagant gifts often associated with the "social whirl" of his or her Gemini parent. It is beneficial to the young Taurus to learn how to mingle and natives of Gemini have perfected this social grace. In return, the Taurus child can provide the unsettled Gemini parent with a solid ground to return home to after all the guests have departed.
Cancer Parent/Taurus Child: In this relationship, the Taurus child will fully appreciate the ability of his or her Cancer parent to create a secure and safe home environment. It is natural for Cancer and Taurus to thrive in such circumstances. The child here will soak up all the love and attention heaped upon him or her by the Cancer parent. Such an upbringing is likely to result in a strong and solid character...a child who will work from an early age to build a similar type of domestic security later in life. This combination will invariably make for a lasting relationship between two kindred spirits...the Cancer parent and Taurus child will probably always remain close to each other.
Leo Parent/Taurus Child: The Leo parent will be a strong individual who can easily provide a confident role model for any Taurus offspring to emulate. Young Taurus will need such inspiration and be thus encouraged to work even longer and harder to achieve personal goals. Since Leo is somewhat well-known as the Leader of the Zodiac, such natives expect everyone to automatically follow their rules and regulations. This could lead to problems with the Taurus child, who will only take "so much" before the "heels go down and the horns go up." Eventually, the legendary temper of Taurus is sure to emerge and it will be necessary for the Leo parent to learn that the best way to reach this child is through encouragement and appreciation, given that any other approach is destined to meet with resistance. However, since Leo subjects are also well-known for their generous spirit, any offspring will be showered with all manner of gifts and little Taurus...being the most materialistic child of the Zodiac...will greatly appreciate the many luxuries provided by a Leo parent.
Virgo Parent/Taurus Child: Virgo and Taurus are two of the hardest workers to be found in the Zodiac. The Virgo parent will set an idustrious precedent for his or her Taurus child...one which little Taurus will want to emulate. Action which is careful, methodical and constant is important to Virgo and, being of a similar nature, any Taurus child will both respect and admire his or her busy parent. Since both are governed by the element of earth, there should be an abundance of domestic harmony. Virgo individuals are by nature proficient in arts and crafts, thus encouraging the creative talents of little Taurus and providing all the opportunities necessary for the child to develop artistic skills.
Libra Parent/Taurus Child: In this combination, both parent and child share the ruling planet of Venus. Thus, both are blessed with an appreciation of beauty and the powers of attraction. However, it will be necessary for the Libra parent to realize that little Taurus wants to attract possessions...beautiful items that he or she can value and cherish. Although the Libra parent can appreciate the Taurus love for such wonderful possessions, any admiration will necessarily be from a distance since the Taurus child is unlikley to share. Problems can arise in this relationship due to the Libra personality of being open to new ideas and the willingness to give and please others. Such an individual may become easily annoyed with a child who is something of a "plodder," who is very slow to change and often quite fixed in his or her opinions. Nevertheless, born with an inherently good sense of color and dress, the Taurus child will appeal to the adult Libra's love of beauty. It is not unusual for this parent/child relationship to culminate in a close bond of friendship once the Taurus child reaches maturity.
Scorpio Parent/Taurus Child: Both Scorpio and Taurus are fixed signs. The Scorpio parent likes a controlled environment and has set ways of doing things. Thus, the parent in this relationship will be far from pleased when the equally self-willed Taurus child refuses to do anything in a manner other than his or her own. These two signs are opposite each other in the Zodiac and truly have very little in common. The Scorpio parent will provide a home in which the Taurus child feels very safe...primarily because little Taurus values an unchanging way of life. Nonetheless, since both Scorpio and Taurus are by nature prepared to be sensitive to each other, this is often an area where the bond between parent and child can develop.
Sagittarius Parent/Taurus Child: In this relationship, the adventure-loving Sagittarius parent will attempt to introduce new ideas and experiences to his or her security-loving child. This sometimes results in feelings of disappointment when the little Taurus insists on clinging to his or her ragged Teddy Bear, displaying no interest whatsoever in the new (and no doubt expensive) one which the Sagittarius parent may just have purchased...a Teddy which can talk, sing and dance. Not only does the little Taurus hate change, he or she is also slow to accpet anything different into his or her life. Each new thing or event must be ventured into slowly with a Taurus child...rush a little Taurus and he or she will only further slow down. This can be very frustrating to the Sagittarius parent who hates the routine life that his or her child adheres to so persistently. Both parent and child have a lot to learn from each other in this relationship...if they can accept that each views life very differently. The Taurus child can provide stability for an otherwise restless Sagittarius parent. In return, the Sagittarius parent can teach the Taurus child to perceive life as more of an adventure.
Capricorn Parent/Taurus Child: Both being governed by the element of earth, this parent/child combination will be a compatible one. Both will be practical and sensible and share a love of material security. The Capricorn parent will set boundaries with which the Taurus child is happy to comply...it makes he or she feel more secure. In addition, the Capricorn parent is one upon whom the Taurus child knows he or she can depend. In turn, the Capricorn parent knows that when he or she sets a task for the Taurus child, that task will be done and done correctly. There will be much love and appreciation in this parent/child relationship and the Capricorn parent will work hard to provide the luxuries so loved by both the child and the adult.
Aquarius Parent/Taurus Child: This relationship is probably best desribed as: a freedom-loving and eccentric parent giving birth to a practical and routine-oriented child. The little Taurus can teach the Aquarius parent that it is rarely possible to live with a dream unless there are practical means of making that dream come true. The Taurus child will probably view the Aquarius parent as being unconventional in most ways, which can cause the little Taurus embarrassment in a multitude of situations. However, Aquarius individuals are, by and large, unique characters...something the Taurus child is likely to find difficult to accept. Since both of these Signs possess strong personalities, there is probably no way of avoiding an eventual confrontation between the Aquarius parent and the Taurus child.
Pisces Parent/Taurus Child: This parent/child combination will probably be quite good. The child here will be more practical than his or her parent, unable by nature to rely on dreams and feelings. With any Taurus individual, the "here and now" is what will be of most importance. However, a Pisces parent is an extremely loving character and will be able to provide the emotional security so necessary to the Taurus child's well-being. In return, the desire for material possessions and the sensible approach to life inherent in this child can help ground the dreamy Pisces parent and may be most beneficial in turning Pisces' dreams into realities. The little Taurus will also learn through this relationship that if anything is to get done, then he or she is probably going to have to take personal responsibility for its completion.
