Your little Taurus thrives in comfortable conditions. He cannot have too much affection. He loves to feel your skin, the scent of your perfume, the tenderness of your voice. From an early age, surround the child with soothing sounds, beautiful flowers, soft, pleasant-to-touch toys, and adopt calmness as a lifestyle, and your little one will be an “easy” child. There may be a tendency to overeat. Do not start giving sweets too early; instead, teach him 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 will find that your little bull resembles a very stubborn car with its brakes permanently engaged. “No” is likely one of the first and favorite words. If you need to go somewhere quickly, it will be easier for your nerves to take the child by the hand or even carry him.
Taurus “shines” with patience and perseverance and will earn his dignity by learning to finish tasks and do them well. He derives great pleasure from neatness and reliability. If he enjoys an activity, he savors every moment and strives to prolong it.
Your child will enjoy collecting things, may learn to save part of his pocket money, taking pride in watching his savings grow. He will succeed in arts such as working with clay or other crafts. You may find that he enjoys singing and has a good singing voice. Fast-paced competitive sports are not his style; better to choose a sport that requires endurance.
His patron planet is Venus. In our body, the throat is governed by Taurus. So, it is no wonder that many outstanding singers were 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 would not hurt for Taurus children to take care of their throats. At the very least, avoid chilling the neck. These children are prone to colds. Sudden malaise can also result from their tendency to keep everything to themselves, not sharing thoughts or feelings. Try to explain to the little one that such reserve does not always benefit him.
Taurus children usually like pastel tones, soft shades. They are drawn to gentle, sensual music. If the child is sick or simply feeling unwell, dress him in soft clothing in muted tones, turn off bright lights, and play a good melodic record. Soon, your little one will be back to normal.
As you communicate with the child, you will realize that gentle, patient persuasion can achieve everything. Taureans are as stubborn as they are pliable—they respond to reasonable persuasion. 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 think.
Taurus children cannot be pushed. Usually, these children are very peace-loving, but if force is applied, you will awaken a fierce temper. In such a case, the wisest course is to wait until the storm subsides. Until then, you will gain nothing.
The element of Taurus is Earth. This is a sign of stability. Therefore, we are dealing with a character as solid as a rock. Taureans possess the endurance and perseverance of their sign. Their defining traits are strength and steadfastness; such children are not easily disconcerted. They remain loyal to what they believe in. Taureans are ready to accept any challenge, no matter who sets it, and often strive to achieve the best despite good advice. This is why it is so important to show them the difference between perseverance and stubbornness from an early age.
Little Taureans are very wary of anything new. You need to prove to the child the benefits of change and how they will personally benefit him. With these children, it is better to seek cooperation, as they can certainly be dangerous opponents. The strength of your little Taurus lies in his conviction, decisiveness, and persistence. But remember, he is capable of standing up for himself and giving a sharp retort.
Taureans can be possessive—jealous, envious, and greedy. By nature, they are materialistic, highly valuing the comforts and advantages that life can offer. They strive to enjoy what life has to give. Taureans are often prone to obesity, so (to regulate food intake) they need strict discipline. Otherwise, they risk gaining excess weight and the diseases associated with it. Rich, calorie-laden treats are a real scourge. Teach your child a healthy lifestyle. After all, food is far from the most important thing! For Taurus, the sense of taste is as important as, for example, sight is for Aries.
In communicating with the child, you will achieve much through gentle words and tender touch. Stroke his head, hug him—this will help establish contact.
The lesson that must truly be taught to a little Taurus is to share. He has overly developed personal instincts. Such children become very attached to people and things. They would love to own everything. Try to show that true values in life are not in possessing things but in the souls of others and the child himself.
The moment when the little Taurus can realize the significance of his own worth and that of others will be crucial for his future life. Help him understand that spiritual values and high aspirations are more important than all the material goods in the world.
If you cannot achieve mutual understanding in your relationship with your little one, the best disciplinary measure is deprivation of pleasures and entertainment. Ban him from watching a TV show, do not give him sweets after meals, take away his favorite toy. By denying the child something, you will achieve the desired effect. And when his behavior improves, you will have something with which to reward the naughty Taurus.
But never resort to physical punishment with such children. This will only make them more stubborn and disobedient, as they are so sensitive to emotional and physical pain.
Help your little Taurus better understand his strengths and weaknesses. Arm yourself with a great deal of patience—and then you will fully enjoy the tenderness of the child and friendly communication with him.
