Leo Parents

Parenting comes naturally to Leo.  Just as a lion rules the jungle, Leo is comfortable directing in the home.  With high standards for themselves, Leos are able to set the bar high for their children and give lots of direction on how to achieve their goals.  Always prepared, Leo mothers never fail to figure out a solution to any problem.  There isn't anything a Leo dad can't fix.  Leo's are likely to push their children into participating in competitive activities like sports and will surely be the loudest fan in the stands.  Winning is important to Leo, but they are also able to accept loss gracefully.

Pros:  Generous, extravagant, strong-willed, pushes child to excel.

Cons:  Hot-tempered, controlling, risk of unrealistic expectations for child.

Values Learned from Leo Parent:  Independence, efficiency, pride in oneself.

How to Spot Them in a Crowd:  The mom pulling an itinerary for the day out of her large purse full of snacks, band-aids, quarters, and whatever else anyone might need.  The dad forcing everyone to admire  wallet photos of his kids.

The Next Astrotreat Installment: Parents

For my next set of treats, I'm going to give a quick look at each astrological sign in terms of parenting style.  This should be fun for us to see how our own parent-figures measure up.  For those of us with children, we may be enlightened a little about ourselves.  For those of us without,  let's dream a little of our potential.

SAGITTARIUS CHALLENGE

I challenge Sagittarius to speak in monotone all day long.  Extra points for not injuring yourself in an extreme adventure (i.e. skydiving, white water rafting, bungee jumping).

LIBRA CHALLENGE

I challenge Libra to hang out alone for two whole days doing antisocial things.  Extra points for hanging out with someone you think is ugly when you're done.

CANCER CHALLENGE

I challenge Cancer to find that box of special junk you keep because it has sentimental value and throw it away.  Extra points if you don't talk to your mother for a week.

GEMINI CHALLENGE

I challenge Geminis to stand in a long line without shifting their weight, tapping their foot, drumming their fingers, or texting.  Extra points for not telling a long story to the person in front of you.
