In order to bring the Cancer child up to a more active, open, normal out look, the parent must be very loving and attentive, but must manage in some way to make the child more independent and more out spoken. These children must actually be made to like to do things for themselves. Since the ability to absorb and imitate is so strong, the examples set for them should be of activity, ambition and accomplishment.
