Parenting Tips for Leo Babies
- Leos are natural leaders and competitors, and they have the spirit to thrive for the best. However, pressuring them to win can affect this in a bad way, cause stress, and lead to an overachiever kid who always feels under pressure.
- Praise Leos over their accomplishments helps encourage them to do more and better. Positive reinforcement and encouraging words, sometimes a pat on the head is all that is needed to keep your little Leo working hard. While praising, it is important to keep in mind that they should learn to make and accept mistakes as well. They are known to hate failing, and teaching them the balance in experiences helps keep them on the right path.
- Leos love attention, but running to their side whenever they whine or pout might lead to a demanding little Leo in your hands. Keeping them a part of a community, teaching them how to cooperate and share teaches them empathy, and prevents them from becoming selfish.
- Leos are born artists, and encouraging them on artistic expression is important to not limit their personality and help them thrive. Allow them to create, and mix and match on their own instead of limiting their vision to already existing sets and designs. Having chalkboards on their walls for them to doodle on whenever they want to, or fabric markers for them to set their own designs, allows them the freedom and makes for the best pastime activity.
