Scorpio children are one of the most active and energetic of all the twelve types of Zodiac. They have good minds naturally, keen and comprehensive., and are able to grasp their studies without difficulty. In fact, they revel in problems, and cheerfully go to the heart of any work detailed to them. They will not find enough activity in the life for their boundless energy. Their capacity for work is tremendous, and their nature is rich in avenues for development.

The difficulties facing parents in the development of these children are faults of character. The Scorpio child is often underhanded and deceitful. If he cannot get his own way by fair means, he will attempt by the foul. He is not penitent under rebuke, but sullen and resentful. This type will even go so far as to pretend sorrow over their misdeeds, but in reality the faults continue behind the parents’ back.

Scorpios, because of their great energy and force, should be taught the difference between constructive and destructive power. They should be taught self-mastery and be given careful direction so their tremendous energy and drive is channeled into creative activity.

Scorpio children are noted for their effervescent humor and their attractiveness. Whether they are tall or short, dark or light, they still attract people. They are quick and restless and tireless workers.

Selfishness and self-indulgence are strong in the Scorpio child’s nature, and it can be seen that the parents of these children have their hands full to combat the evils lying dormant in the nature. If the parent does his or her work well, the child when grown up will have a happier life. Scorpio people always suffer cruelly in one way or another from their vices. Either their conscience plagues them, or some other retribution overtakes them. It will be a blessing to the child if the parent forces all these hidden wrong, such as sexual indulgence, bullying of other children, and all forms of deceitfulness out into the open. Any fault in a child that is faced fearlessly can be successfully conquered.
