The Aries Child

You can almost count on your Aries child to be born strong-willed and mischievous. As a cardinal fire sign, Aries children are independent and outspoken. Aries children have strong beliefs and mannerisms. They are both assertive and gentle, always teaching those around them how to ask for what they want.

Born creatives, they are naturally talented. They are successful in any passion they commit to. Aries children typically enjoy sports, selling, public speaking, art, and performance. They also may grow much slower or faster than the other kids.

As a self-starter, Aries children need space to discover their abilities. Don't try to smother them. They thrive on routine, independence, and consistency.


The Aries Child at Home

At home, your Aries child may be their most shy self. Aries children prefer their home environment to be one of rest and routine. This does not mean your Aries child enjoys a boring life. Aries children need stimulating activity and fun in their life. Try designing their room around their interests. Never leave the walls bare and free from color. Spruce up their living space with bold colors, paintings, portraits, and wall hangings. This will inspire healthy creativity and self-expression. 

Aries children can be strong willed and stubborn at times. To avoid disputes and chaos, create an open boundary system that will be present in their everyday life. They thrive from having routine and consistency.
