Scorpio Parents

The Scorpio parent is naturally in tune with his or her children.  With the ability to know what people are thinking and feeling without being told, Scorpio parents can anticipate their child's needs and moods effectively.  Scorpio's possessive and protective nature may create a problem when it comes to giving children a sense of freedom and space, though this problem is easily corrected if the parent is able to identify it and commit to changing (Scorpio's commitment is unshakable).  Since Scorps are no strangers to playing mind games, it's no surprise to find one using reverse psychology or some other mental manipulation to direct children.  While Scorpio mom and dad understand a child's need for secrets, dishonesty is not tolerated.  Kids with a Scorpio parent should always let their parents know where they are, when they'll be back, and who they'll be with--and stick to the plan.  Nothing gets past Scorpio mom or dad.  Often black-and-white thinkers (due to an intensity of feeling), Scorpio parents often project their own interests, dreams, and aspirations onto their children.

Pros:  Strong-willed and able to cut through any obstacle, able to be intensely supportive of child's pursuits, unique ability to understand their children.

Cons:  May be invasive to child's privacy, risk of forcing child to share parent's interests, if the Scorpio parent isn't in a stable relationship, risk of drama in personal life interfering with ability to uphold parental responsibility.
