<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re a walking database of parenting information\u2014the Google of parenthood\u2014and your kids\u2019 lives are well-planned as a result. Structure is what makes children feel safest, so your ability to provide it can help your kids grow up to feel confident and empowered in the world. They\u2019ll also be pretty practical as a result of your guidance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You puree food and freeze it in ice cube trays, scour the parent message boards for gently-used educational toys, and keep an Excel spreadsheet rating the best strollers. Not a moment of pregnancy is wasted, either! While awaiting the arrival of your little one, you\u2019ve framed, drywalled and decorated the nursery and applied for the best local preschool by the second trimester. You\u2019re so thrifty, you even re-gift (who needs all those onesies, anyhow?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re the patron saint of new parents, too, offering a wealth of helpful advice for every age and stage. Virgo Jada Pinkett-Smith found her \u201csecond act\u201d co-hosting her Red Table Talks <\/em>show with daughter Willow Smith and her mom, Adrienne Banfield-Norris. Their intergenerational conversations leave no stone unturned, true to the Virgoan love of details, trivia, and occasional TMI. You find the whole process of child development fascinating\u2014from poop variations (Virgo rules digestion) to sleep training\u2014and you know just about every fact and figure on it all. You\u2019d be wise to set up a parent blog and monetize it, stat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Virgo parent teaches healthy habits. Hello, non-toxic parent. Virgo is an earth sign<\/a> that rules the zodiac\u2019s sixth house<\/a> of health and fitness. You want to ensure that your kids have the best possible nutrition, healthy habits and pediatric care. Immunizations? Your children are either on the dot with their shots, or you\u2019ve enrolled them in alternative education (or moved to a commune) so they can avoid the needle. Nutrition is another big thing for you. You may be the parent who\u2019s orchestrated the sugar and cupcake ban at your kid\u2019s elementary school\u2014and you don\u2019t care if they hate you for it, either. At least they won\u2019t have cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As long as you don\u2019t go to extremes, your kids will probably thank you for teaching them healthy habits\u2014at least, once they\u2019re too old to trick-or-treat. If you\u2019re the outdoorsy or active type, you\u2019ll enjoy sharing hikes, bike rides and even planting a vegetable garden with the kids. Virgos are usually pretty talented in the kitchen, too, so make meal preparation a fun family activity. Teach the kids to make signature salads or healthy dishes with quinoa, multigrain pasta, or colorful veggies (the \u201crainbow plate\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Virgo parent can be too rigid about rules. Organization is one thing, but as the saying goes, \u201cman plans; God laughs.\u201d You can get all too hung up on your carefully orchestrated schedules and plans, turning order into chaos with your crazy-making. Parenting is an exercise in being out of control, and this can be a challenge for you. Yet, it will be necessary to learn flexibility, especially if you have a more free-spirited child (like a Gemini, Sag or Aquarius) who doesn\u2019t like structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Face it, Virgo, you\u2019re hardwired to sweat the small stuff. As a parent, you need to deprogram yourself from some of those rigid tendencies that stem from worry and fear. Remind yourself that all is well. If your kids\u2019 clothes aren\u2019t hand-dyed with teas and berries, made from organic cotton and Fair Trade certified, well\u2026things will probably work out just the same. Should your child ingest a crayon, an Oscar Meyer hot dog or a snack that lists hydrogenated palm kernel oil as a main ingredient, their immune and digestive systems can probably handle the blow. What\u2019s most important is that you teach your kid not to overreact. Go easy on the helicopter parenting and hovercrafting. You can\u2019t stop your kid from getting bumps and boo-boos, but you can be there to kiss them and make it all better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Virgo parents can be judge-y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh my God, can you BELIEVE she lets her kid eat that? Why isn\u2019t she disciplining her child and teaching her not to bite? You can be a snarky, sideline-sniper, a bigger playground terror than the kid who throws snowballs or pushes other children off the swings. Virgo is an analytical sign with perfectionist tendencies and super-high standards\u2014both for yourself and other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While it\u2019s great that you have such sound values, it\u2019s not so nice when you get caught up on your judgmental, \u201cVirgo knows best\u201d trip. Before you deliver a scathing critique, look within: Are you secretly being hard on yourself? Maybe you\u2019re expecting yourself to do things \u201cright\u201d\u2014when, in reality, there\u2019s no such thing. When the urge to shred another parent strikes, take a moment to be nice to yourself. Say a little mantra or affirmation, treat yourself to a special cup of tea, take a deep breath. Maybe you can find a way to offer some constructive advice to a fellow parent in need. But if you can\u2019t say anything nice, remember the Golden Rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What kind of parent is Virgo?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1319,"featured_media":46283,"parent":963,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"as_learn_tag":[10169,10183],"as_learn_topic":[5394],"as_signs":[5386],"class_list":["post-1266","as_learn_article","type-as_learn_article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","as_learn_tag-virgo-mom","as_learn_tag-virgo-parent","as_learn_topic-parenting-horoscopes","as_signs-virgo","article-link","infinite-scroll-item","no-featured-image-padding"],"featured_image_urls_v2":{"full":["https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/parent-virgo.jpg",960,740,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/parent-virgo-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/parent-virgo-300x231.jpg",300,231,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/parent-virgo-768x592.jpg",768,592,true],"large":["https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/parent-virgo.jpg",960,740,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/parent-virgo.jpg",960,740,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/parent-virgo.jpg",960,740,false]},"post_excerpt_stackable_v2":" What kind of parent is Virgo?<\/p>\n","category_list_v2":"","author_info_v2":{"name":"The AstroTwins","url":"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/author\/astrotwins\/"},"comments_num_v2":"0 comments","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/as_learn_article\/1266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/as_learn_article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/as_learn_article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/as_learn_article\/1266\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/as_learn_article\/963"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"as_learn_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/as_learn_tag?post=1266"},{"taxonomy":"as_learn_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/as_learn_topic?post=1266"},{"taxonomy":"as_signs","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/as_signs?post=1266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"momstrology-banner-book\"](\"https:\/\/astrostyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/momstrology-banner-book.jpg\")
