The characteristics of the Capricorn Baby:

• Personality: This is a loyal child
• The little Capricorn girl is determined
• The little Capricorn boy is respectful of his environment
• Tip: Reassure them by showing your love

Baby Capricorn are very well-behaved and serene. You could almost say angelic. Sensitive, equable and frequently shy, these babies like a calm environment. They will quickly grow into thoughtful children who are interested in everything. In short, they are often seen as model children.

They are sometimes solitary and can frequently be paralysed by shyness. For this reason, they feel perfectly at home with their parents and will find it difficult to be apart from them when they are very small. So, when they go to nursery, do not worry if there are tears: it is a real wrench for them to see their parents going away. They will therefore need to have things explained to them, so that they can cope with separation, especially as they are quite logical and good at processing explanations. It will be up to you to defuse the situation and suggest activities other than intellectual ones; games and other forms of entertainment, such as hide-and-seek in the garden.

Capricorn babies need to learn to relax and do not need stimulation! They apply themselves diligently to all they undertake. So, if your Water sign child decides to start on a model or a doll's house, keep the whole afternoon free. If you suggest doing something else that day, they will be most put-out. Their patience can be surprising, because when still quite small, they are capable of spending hours on one activity! This quality will make them very determined in life and they will be able to excel at work.

These are children who are reserved emotionally and about showing their feelings. It will be your place to bring them out of this reserve and teach them they can show their love freely and openly before others. They will need to feel the thrill of their emotions, rather than always wanting to repress them. Help them to get away from their increasing feel for perfection, which could hold them back seriously later. They need to learn how to react in all situations and not just feel comfortable in their own little world. Be ready to listen to them when they are tired, as this is when they will be most inclined to confide their feelings. Learn more about the Capricorn rising sign.

Living with the Capricorn Baby!

Capricorn children are serious, very serious… in fact far too serious…. Teach them to relax, laugh and let themselves go! An example would be to give them a paint-box and a large canvas to express their feelings… or modelling paste to make shapes! A good way of developing their imagination! When they are older, get them involved in role-play or even drama to act out in front of others. This is a good way of not staying on the sidelines and learning to be sociable in all situations!
