Your little Taurus flourishes beautifully in comfortable surroundings. There can never be too much affection for this child. He loves to feel your skin, the scent of your perfume, the tenderness in your voice. From an early age, surround your child with soothing sounds, beautiful flowers, soft and pleasant-to-touch toys, and embrace calmness as a lifestyle—your baby will then be an “easy” child.
There may be a tendency toward overeating. Avoid introducing sweets too early; instead, teach your child to appreciate natural fruits. The taste for sweet and fatty delicacies will be discovered without your help.
Do not try to rush him—if you do, you’ll find your little bull resembles a very stubborn machine with the brakes permanently engaged. “No” is likely one of his first and favorite words. If you need to go somewhere quickly, it will be easier on your nerves to simply take the child by the hand or even carry him.
Taurus will shine with patience and determination, gaining self-respect through learning to finish tasks and do them well. He takes great pleasure in neatness and reliability. If he enjoys an activity, he savors every moment and wishes to prolong it as long as possible.
Your child will enjoy collecting, may learn to save part of his pocket money, and take pride as his savings grow. He will succeed in arts and crafts such as clay modeling or other hands-on activities. He may show dedication and interest in learning to play the piano. You might discover that he enjoys singing and possesses a pleasant singing voice. Fast-paced competitive sports are not his style—better choices are those requiring endurance.
His ruling planet is Venus. In our body, the sign of Taurus governs the throat. Therefore, it’s no surprise that many outstanding singers are born under this sign. But remember well: the part of the body ruled by a zodiac sign can be either very weak or very strong. It’s advisable to take special care of the throat for children born under Taurus. In any case, avoid exposing the neck to cold drafts.
These children are prone to colds. Sudden illness may also stem from their tendency to keep everything inside, not sharing their thoughts and feelings. Try to explain to your child that such closed-off behavior won’t always serve him well.
Taurus children generally prefer pastel tones and muted shades. They are drawn to gentle, sensual music. If your child is unwell or just feeling down, dress him in soft clothing of subdued colors, turn off bright lights, and play a good melodic record. Soon your little one will be back to full health.
When communicating with your child, you’ll find that gentle, patient persuasion can achieve everything. Taureans are as yielding as they are stubborn—they respond well to reasonable argument. But arguing with them turns into a real duel. The best approach is an indirect one: step back and give the child time to cool down and reflect.
You must never force a Taurus. These children are usually very peaceful, but apply pressure and you awaken a fierce temper. In such cases, the wisest course is to wait until the storm passes. Until then, you won’t get through to him.
Taurus’s element is earth. This is a sign of stability. Thus, we are dealing with a character as solid as a rock. Taureans possess the endurance and determination of their sign. Their defining traits are strength and steadfastness—such children are not easily unsettled. They remain loyal to their beliefs. Taureans are ready to accept any challenge, no matter who issues it, and often strive to achieve the best despite good advice. This is why it’s so important in youth to teach them the difference between determination and stubbornness.
Little Taureans are very cautious about anything new. You must demonstrate to your child the benefits of change and how it will personally serve him. With these children, cooperation works best, as they can undoubtedly become formidable opponents. Your little Taurus’s strength lies in his conviction, decisiveness, and persistence. But remember, he is capable of standing up for himself and delivering a sharp rebuttal.
Taureans can be possessive—jealous, envious, and greedy. By nature, they are materialists who highly value comforts and advantages that bring ease and security. They seek to enjoy all that life can offer. Taureans are often prone to obesity and therefore require strict discipline to regulate food intake. Otherwise, they risk excess weight and related health issues.
Rich, high-calorie treats are a real curse. Teach your child a healthy lifestyle. After all, food is far from the most important thing! For Taurus, the sense of taste is as crucial as sight is for Aries.
In interacting with your child, you’ll achieve much through gentle words and tender touch. Stroke his head, give a hug—this helps build connection.
The lesson truly essential for a little Taurus is learning to share. His possessive instincts are overly developed.
Such children become deeply attached to people and things. They would like to own everything and everyone. Try to show them that life’s true values lie not in owning things, but in the souls of others—and in the child’s own soul.
The moment when a little Taurus can recognize the significance of both himself and those around him will be profoundly important for his future life. Help your child understand that spiritual values and higher aspirations are more important than all the material wealth in the world.
If you’re unable to reach understanding with your child, the best disciplinary method is withdrawal of pleasures and entertainment. Prohibit watching a TV show, withhold dessert after lunch, take away a favorite toy. By denying something, you’ll achieve the desired effect. And when behavior improves, you’ll have something to reward the disobedient Taurus with.
But never use physical punishment on such children. It will only make them more stubborn and defiant, as they are acutely sensitive to both emotional and physical pain.
Help your little Taurus better understand his own strengths and weaknesses. Arm yourself with considerable patience—and then you will fully enjoy the child’s tenderness and warm companionship.
