What is a Capricorn mom or dad like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Capricorn parent is the rock to your family\u2019s roll, the force that holds everything together through thick and thin. As the zodiac\u2019s provider sign, you\u2019ll do whatever it takes to ensure that your family has financial security and a roof over their heads. It was Capricorn Donna Summer who sang \u201cShe Works Hard for the Money,\u201d and that\u2019s certainly true for you. With your solid work ethic, you might even be the family breadwinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Capricorns good parents?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Capricorn rules the zodiac\u2019s tenth house<\/a> of ambition and traditions, giving you ease with setting rules and upholding structure. You\u2019re not afraid to say \u201cno\u201d because you understand that you\u2019re teaching kids necessary lessons for the long haul. Your sign is symbolized by the mountain goat, slowly and steadily making its rocky uphill climb. A master strategist, you\u2019re always thinking ten steps ahead. As a result, your children will be set up for success in the long haul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capricorn David Bowie was a great example of a \u201ctake your kids to work\u201d parent. Bowie\u2019s son Duncan has recalled his father giving him an 8mm camera at age seven, then teaching him, \u201cin a lovely way, the basics of making a movie, like how to do storyboards, write a script, do the lighting.\u201d While accompanying Bowie on tour, Duncan would make animated shorts with his Star Wars figures. No matter how much you earn, you\u2019ll bust your butt to make sure your kids have the best of everything, from clothes to education. In the best cases, you\u2019ll pass on your hardworking ways to them, so they can provide for themselves (and their own families) in their adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traits of a Capricorn mom or dad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The dutiful Capricorn parent has rock-solid values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capricorn is a traditional sign with a strong sense of duty and history. Family trees, ancestry\u2014you\u2019re fascinated by exploring your lineage. J.R.R. Tolkien, who created the elaborate Lord of the Rings trilogy, was a Capricorn. You like to carry on family conventions and pass down strong roots to your clan. Should you have claim to impressive stock\u2014your ancestors were high priests, you\u2019re a descendant of African royalty, there\u2019s a Scottish family crest\u2014you\u2019ll proudly emphasize this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you diverge in politics, religious beliefs or lifestyles from your relatives, you\u2019ll create your own set of traditions that will become much-anticipated regular events. In most cases, Capricorns maintain a dutiful closeness to their own parents, supporting them until their last breath. In fact, your greatest fear might be disappointing your folks, and you\u2019ll try hard to leave a legacy that would make your ancestors proud. You\u2019ll be sure your children have a healthy respect for their elders, and understand right from wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capricorn parenting challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Capricorn parent can be too serious at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, but do you have to? No, Capricorn. Parenthood gives you plenty to worry about, but it can also teach you to lighten up. While you can\u2019t shed your dutiful nature, you don\u2019t have to sweat the small stuff either. At a certain point, the \u201csighing saint\u201d or martyr parent routine can be a real downer for your kids. It can also give them the sense that life is difficult, teaching them to expect a struggle and even damaging their confidence. Remember, you\u2019re their role model. Your kids need to see that you\u2019re happy, not worried or gloomy all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your excessive sternness can also go overboard. While you may have high standards, remember that rules exist as helpful guidelines, not to instill fear or control. The world won\u2019t end if your kids get a bad grade, make a mistake, or eat something that isn\u2019t gluten-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dutch model and devoted Capricorn supermom Yolanda Hadid shepherded all three of her stunningly gorgeous kids to international, A-list runways. But early footage from her appearances on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills <\/em>reveal the grit and determination Yolanda threw into this mission. Her unwavering Capricorn perseverance played as much of a hand in the success story as the otherworldly beauty of Taurus Gigi and Libra Bella. The Hadid\u2019s are enviably close-knit, but there\u2019s no shortage of hustle among them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s beautiful that you want your kids to be the best. But use your Capricorn wisdom to help them learn from their failures, and don\u2019t overreact or blame yourself if they take a different path. While some Caps are big kissers and huggers, others aren\u2019t so touchy-feely. If you\u2019re awkward with affection, don\u2019t worry\u2014better to give your kids a one-armed hug than no hug at all. You don\u2019t have to be BFFs\u2014at least, not if it undermines your authority. But too much \u201csteel magnolia\u201d and you risk turning your kids to ice. Remember, you\u2019re still their parent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Capricorn parent can be obsessed with status<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Your kids have been accepted into an elite private school, cool their heels at a members-only social club and have a list of accomplishments that make Nobel Prize winners look like slackers. Great, Capricorn. But underneath all the trappings, is your family happy? At times, you can lose sight of this on your quest to climb the social ladder. Your Architectural Digest <\/em>home might be well-appointed, but it probably ain\u2019t childproof\u2026or very much fun. It\u2019s fine if you\u2019ve got first-class taste, but be careful not to impose your over-the-top standards onto your children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capricorn is a structured sign, but rigid overscheduling can steal the spontaneity from your family\u2019s life. Make sure your kids get to have a childhood, and don\u2019t book them in every possible after-school program. Breathe. They\u2019ll get into college, and they\u2019ll turn out okay. What\u2019s underneath all this angst? You tend to be uber-hard on yourself. When you start freaking out about your four-year-old\u2019s kindergarten applications, give yourself a reality check. Chances are, you\u2019re comparing yourself to other parents, and trying to outdo them. Parenthood is a journey, not a competition, so easy does it with striving. As the saying goes, it\u2019s lonely at the top\u2014especially for parents. Relax a little and you\u2019ll find a supportive community of friends instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
