These are the cool cats of the zodiac. Being disciplined and focused they usually have a plan, so while they may not talk early, when they do, they’ll go straight to quoting Shakespeare. They love being teased and teasing and have a wicked sense of humour – it won’t be long before they’re laughing at Mum tripping over the rattle!
How To Handle Them
They like order and take on responsibilities early so encourage them to have fun and stay young. Even heatedly debating around them can make them feel like failures, so keep life happy and calm. They’re also insecure while being undemanding – a dangerous combination; so no matter how self-contained they seem, give them lashings of love and reassurance. They also like to feel special and will thrive under any kind of reward system.
Favourite Toys And Pastimes
• Feed their need for responsibility. Have them in the sling while you cook and clean and later buy them toy cleaning, cooking or tool sets.
• Square and methodical toys that have a peaceful movement and are easy to work out.
• Family outings especially with Grandparents who are guaranteed to spoil them.
• Soft toys and clothes in earthy tones grey, indigo and browns.
What To Prepare For
With impressive powers of command once Cappy baby comes home, ask yourself if you’re doing what you want or what they want? ‘Cos truth is, they’re happier with structure and a leader to look up to. And while they may seem cool customers, really they’re warm, funny, loyal and cuddly little bubs who need a load of loving.
Their Space
Sharing with someone untidy, noisy or disorganised will make them lose respect, so their own bedroom would save arguments! They want to feel part of something, so surround them in family pictures and tell them bedtime stories about your childhood. Dark, rich colours will comfort them and they’ll enjoy simple toys.
Easing Them Into Your Family
They intuitively get the importance of family, are loyal to all generations and are at their happiest when enjoying a clan gathering. While they’re stubborn and hate drama, they love making people laugh but like all good comedians, they’re insecure and aren’t keen on surprises. As making mistakes can rock them, patiently show them where they went wrong and how to fix it.
How Safe Does Your House Need To Be?
They have patience, endurance and determination so if they want something, no obstacle will be too big! But they want to do the right thing and if they think they may get caught they probably won’t risk it.

Capricorn Mum
You may not relate that well to young people and don’t always relish getting covered in sticky kisses, but you’re a wise and patient listener and a devoted mother. As your sign rules The Father, you’re often the family provider and always the family worrier and disciplinarian! You instil a sense of duty, responsibility and manners early and no child of yours would demand a toy, for no reason, in a shop. However, when all the work is done you love to let your hair down and get creative with your children and will do what you can to help their education and their school – you like to be involved and love a committee! You’re perfectly apt at keeping a household running smoothly but you need more, so make sure you get it.
Watch Out For
Expecting your children to behave like adults will ware you down and lead to many lost, beautiful moments. Ease up on the discipline and play.
Capricorn Dad
You're strict but fair and take parenthood very seriously, which isn’t always much fun for the children. You needs to find common ground with them.
