"How your child expresses love and creative potential"
For your child to enjoy life, emotional warmth and a sense of closeness within the family are extremely important. He sincerely loves being at home, doing things together with you and other family members. You may often need to encourage him to leave his nest! When disciplining this child, make sure he understands that while his behavior may be unacceptable, your love for him remains unchanged. Uncertainty about being loved can lead to shyness, excessive self-absorption, or the development of dependent attachments to people outside the home. By nature, your child is very gentle and caring, and will value these same qualities in you.
From an early age, such a child will enjoy playing with dolls or toy animals, and will benefit from caring for a small pet. He is unlikely to have many friends—instead, he will be a loyal friend who chooses only a few close companions. He will approach money cautiously and sensibly, making it easy to teach him how to manage pocket money.
Your child will be drawn to home-based creative activities: allow him to explore his culinary talents, garden, knit, or sew clothes. He may enjoy making jewelry (especially from silver) or crafting dolls. Encourage these interests! He may also become passionate about watercolor painting or photography.
