Parenting tips on raising these naturalbor­n and nurturing leaders

- By ROBERT RUBIN Illustrati­ons by ROC VERDERA

Originatin­g from the “virgin,” the horoscope sign Virgo represents love, service, responsibi­lity, and nurture. The sixth of the 12 zodiac signs, they are immensely complex creatures with a large desire to show their love to the world due to their desire to receive love as well. Born between Aug. 23 to Sept. 22, Virgos are known for being sticklers when it comes to following rules, and they show their love to all those who they encounter. Virgos tend to hold themselves to very high standards and because of this, they have a bad habit of placing high expectatio­ns upon themselves and others. Thus, Virgos have near perfection­istic tendencies.

Some are blessed with the honor of having Virgos as little angels in life. Raising a Virgo child can teach us many lessons, especially in philanthro­py, service, and so much more. This quick guide is meant to help you understand some of the amazing things you’ll experience raising a Virgo child.

HOW TO RAISE YOUR VIRGO CHILDREN

With a strong desire to serve others and a habit for excellence in the things that they do, little Virgos will make amazing leaders and some of the most competitiv­e people in their chosen fields of study. Thus, giving them opportunit­ies to shine and test their limits will bring out the best in them, for it will show them how hard work can take them. Supporting your Virgo child is essential, but not at the expense of their own peace of mind. One of the best tools we, as parents, possess for our Virgo children is that we will be there when they fall. By letting them learn early on about the realities of life, they will come back stronger each time with us parents just around the corner.

Developing the leader within your Virgo early on is another amazing way of supporting the nurturing nature of your Virgo child. By affirming this fact they will gladly take the responsibi­lity to make sure that proper care is given to all those around them. Thus, increasing the quality and positive experience of all relationsh­ips around them due to how much they care will definitely prepare them to be the best and most emphatic leaders when they grow up.
