The Leo children are the most vital and active of all the types. They are highly strung, domineering and much inclined to show off. Actually they are often handsome, lovable children, full of talents. They excel in outdoor sports and are too intelligent for their age. Naturally if guided and handled properly, they can turn into very good human beings. But if the Leo child is left astray, they can grow up into objectionable adults.

The Leo child is daring, unflinching, and unafraid and must be taught to curb his or her exuberance. This child tends to have too much false pride and may be boastful and snobbish. Leos need direction since they always want to be at the head of things; they must be made to realize that others like to be leaders too.

The Leo child is philosophical, forceful, and demonstrative. Because they are assured, Leos demonstrate faith, hope, and fortitude. This child is apt to be overly energetic and lavish in expenditure of energy and money when his or her sympathy or interest is aroused. Leos are usually popular and even tempered but quick to anger if their Leo pride is hurt. Leos trust those that believe in them until they are betrayed or deceived. Leos always aim for the stars, and with their determination and self-confidence, Leo children usually get there.

The Leo child seeks praise, but praise comes to them almost naturally as a result of their intelligence and their good work. They readily learn good things of life and listen to parents or elders when they teach. In fact they are strongly idealistic and crave instruction; and like to have an example set for them by someone they idolise.

This is one child who offers a rich nature of good impulses, but because of the vast amount of the energy always ebullient in them, they need very careful handling and guidance.
