Your Leo baby is the ruler of all he surveys. Pride, self-confidence, optimism, and nobility—these traits may seem innate. Leo thrives when at the center of attention. Yet his “subjects” are rewarded with abundant warmth and generosity. Little Leo simply loves doing kind things for others and giving small gifts.
With a strong individuality and a tendency toward theatricality, this natural-born performer may put on a show in an irritating manner if denied the spotlight. Be mindful of this when you notice your child insistently seeking your attention at the wrong place and time.
Never be dishonest with this child. Honesty and fairness are deeply important to Leo. This child possesses strong willpower and the ability to persistently pursue chosen goals, working hard until they are achieved. But above all, he needs the opportunity to display his accomplishments. Through this, he seeks recognition, encouragement, and respect from others—things that matter greatly to him.
Provide your little Leo with early opportunities to interact with other children and adults. Encourage creativity and his natural inclination toward drama. Find interesting costumes or accessories in your old wardrobe—you’ll discover that dress-up and role-playing become your child’s favorite pastime.
Always remember that praise and encouragement toward goal achievement will be far more effective in guiding this child than criticism.
