sag kids!

Hello beautiful saggitarian friends :-)

I would like some input on your childhhood- m/f alike- Did you ALL drive your moms crazy? :-)

I knew my sag daughter was "different" from the moment she was born. And at six, she has already left me speechless more times than my other 4 kids combined- She's great- big hearted, so overly generous (to the point she gives every possession away!) funny, etc. BUT sometimes she really scares me. There seem to be no visible "limits" for this child. How to teach a sag boundaries? I've learned, after many failed attempts at "punishment"- that the traditional methods of discipline, the same I've used for my leos, capricorn, and gemini, seem to do more harm than good for her. She looses interest in activities very quickly- has "ants in the pants", VERY bold and outspoken, says & asks the DARNDEST things, has a VERY hard time "listening", following directions, etc. She does not have a learning disabilty- on the contrary, she SHOCKS ME with the info she is able to retain, and the bits and pieces she is able to put together to form something very solid... etc. A doctor once suggested she may have "attention deficit", but no, its all personality!! And I love her- and I don't want her to hate me, because she's ALWAYS in trouble, either with me, or the teacher. One day, after sending me wayyyyyyy over the edge with what I perceived as "freshness", etc., I yelled "WHY DO YOU ACT LIKE THIS!!!!!!!—? WHY DO YOU DO THESE THINGS!!!" She told me, all teary eyed... "I was born this way!"- WOW- That really humbled me. Since that day, I learned I had to change MY ways of dealing- lecturing, etc. and thats helped a great deal, BUT- I'd like the opinion of other sags inner child :-)

Have a great day-

This is a very interesting post. Many of the things you mentioned sound very familiar. It is important to know that Sagittarians love their freedom, and that goes for Sag children as well. When you look at the things Sag children do or say, one might think the child is bad and problematic, which is not the case at all. As a child, I had an expansive imagination, was extremely talkative, playful, and loved to explore. On the other hand, when I couldn't get my way I was sneaky and a bit of a rebel. Be advised: taking away your Sag's freedom will cause her to rebel!

The best advise I can give is to get to know your child. Try to understand her, but also give her the chance to understand you. For instance, Sag's are very understanding even as children. Therefore, if you explain to your child the dangers and consequences of what you don't want them to do, they are more likely to listen, as opposed to just saying "NO, NO, DON'T!" And that's not to say that the Sag won't do it anyway b/c sometimes we have to learn through our own experiences. Also, try talking to her, communicating with her, instead of yelling all the time. Hope this helps 🙂

By the way, what is your sign?

Based on my boyfriends neice and my cousin.Yeah your looking at a little rebal if you just tell or yell at her something without explaining.She wants to learn as much as posssible as soon as possible.Mistakes are viewed as a learning experiance.Just keep in mind shes also going to be VERY sensitive as well pushing the boundries as much as she can.So you gotta figure out a way to let her learn and avoid hurting her or she will look at you negatively later in life or do everything you don't like to get back at you.My aunt was very unreasonably traditional and strict on my cousin and the cousins so defensive now she won't talk to anyone rationally on some of the topics because she associates it with her mom.Set rules shes always going to pick at to get a full understanding of the whys,it's an intiative sign so if she sees something that should be changed she will try to change it.
