The Taurus child is the most beautiful child of the twelve types. They are usually well grown, developed, healthy and sturdy in appearance. They eat well and have plenty of energy and vitality.

These children respond to love and affection, and crave a great deal of petting. They appear to be rather stolid, but this is really shyness, and if they are properly encouraged to be friendly, the timidity often vanishes.

The Taurus child loves beauty and harmony and loathes disorganization. Taurus are also generous, kindhearted, trustworthy and intensely strong willed. Their strong opinions often offend others. They love 'the good things in life' but are never overly dramatic or charismatic.

Taurus is not an intellectual sign, and these are not studious children. They must be encouraged to study. Sometimes they show an aptitude towards manual work with a distinctive artistic trend, and this should be encouraged, with a moderate amount of mental training. But regardless of what engages them, they must very early in life have instilled into the consciousness of a love for application. These children can easily become lazy, as the sign character lean towards self-indulgence. Good, helpful friendships with other children should be encouraged. The Taurus child could, through love of pleasure, choose companions that might stimulate the lackadaisical, idle habits lying dormant in the nature. Therefore intelligent supervision of companions is a necessity.

Gentle interest and quiet stimulation will bring to life all of the fine qualities and ability to accomplish that later in life is a part of the Taurus character.
