"I can do it myself!" — this might be one of the first phrases you hear when your child begins to speak. Don’t argue with it, and if possible, don’t interfere — unless, of course, he is attempting something genuinely dangerous. Scraped knees are not fatal, and a small lost battle can even be beneficial for his soul. Scorpio is capable of exploring, digging, persisting, and striving with an intensity unique to him until he achieves what he desires. He is a natural skeptic who will never take your word or anyone else’s at face value.
Your little Scorpio will likely be a "quiet type" or a "loner," someone who won’t let you know everything he is thinking. Secrecy and solitude are very important to him, and you must especially respect this. But don’t assume you can keep many of your secrets from him. He possesses a legendary "sixth sense" — the ability to detect "something" beyond the ordinary. He won’t rest until that unusual or hidden "something" is uncovered.
In his likes and dislikes, your child is one of extremes: either he loves someone or something, or he doesn’t — he does not recognize half-measures. Although your child can love deeply and be extremely loyal, anyone who has let him down will never regain his trust. Depending on the level of harmony, the strong will of this child can bring you either joy or conflict. You must learn to respect your child’s decisions and profound emotions.
Your child may be drawn to challenge, risk, or activities involving adventure. He will be very independent, and fear will rarely hold him back.
This little detective, skeptical and perceptive, will dig and investigate until what is hidden is revealed and the mystery is solved. He will likely enjoy reading, especially about anything mysterious. These qualities suggest that your child is likely to succeed in his studies and, later, in fields related to investigation.
