The Taurus child can be stubborn, so keep the rules simple and straightforward. The broken record technique is a good tool for disciplining these kids. If they don\u2019t listen, continue to repeat the same boundary or rule over and over again (without losing your cool) and your bull will bow to your wishes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nWhat can I expect from a Taurus child?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nHow Taurus kids deal with<\/h3>\n\n\n\nRules and authority<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Rules make children feel safe and secure, and that\u2019s really all a Taurus child wants. However, many parents\u2019 rules are arbitrary and subject to change without notice, which is a no-no with this sign. Headstrong Taurus will constantly test boundaries if they sense that you don\u2019t mean what you say. Follow-through is a must. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Taurus child needs someone strong enough to handle them\u2014and that will take a lot of self-discipline for parents. As much of a drag as it can be, you\u2019ll have to set rules and reinforce them until Taurus sees that you mean business. The good news? Kids of this sign will gladly defer to a consistent, confident authority figure who doesn\u2019t back down from their challenges. And if you start strong with a Taurus child, you can stay strong. Your own consistency from Day One could spell the difference between a golden child and a problem child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Limits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Happily sets them for everyone else (younger siblings, friends, pets), but nobody bosses the Bull around. Rules\u2014and locks\u2014were made to be broken, as far as the Taurus child is concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Separation and independence<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Confident Taurus isn\u2019t really a clinger. As long as they have someone they know and trust around, it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s an aunt, uncle, grandparent, sibling or sitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Younger siblings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Taurus kids take a shine to their little brothers and sisters. Rather than feel replaced as the family baby, this managerial sign enjoys being regarded as the older, responsible sibling\u2014and will milk this position of power for all they can. You might need to make sure they\u2019re not bossing the smaller ones around too much, overshadowing or dominating them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Older siblings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Your Bull may be the baby of the family but make no mistake about who\u2019s in charge. Affectionate Taurus will love being coddled by an adoring older sib. But if rivalry occurs, this cute little brute can hold his own\u2014and will push right back if someone tries to steamroll them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bye-bye, baby: Weaning, potty training<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Pass the Pull-Ups! Little Taurus is eager to grow up and be the one telling everyone else what to do. While this sign dislikes being dependent, Taurus can be equally averse to change. Transitions still need to be handled sensitively, warming up the Taurus child to the idea and letting them know what to expect each step of the way. Praising their \u201cbig kid\u201d behavior and pointing out the perks can also work well with this results-driven sign. Cold turkey tactics will backfire, guaranteeing that Taurus will resist with all their might.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sexuality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Drop trou, anyone? As prim as your Taurus might be, this kid will shuck that elegant party outfit and go naked in a heartbeat. Taurus is a sensual sign, and they love to feel the sun or grass or fresh air on their skin. This earth sign is just going au naturale,<\/em> so the key is for you not to freak out or get embarrassed by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nParents might need to steer the Taurus child to have “designated naked zones\u201d so they can maintain a sense of body confidence. Teaching your Taurus healthy sexuality and the facts of life is important, as this pleasure-centric sign sometimes begins exploration early. Try to impart responsibility and not pass on a sense of shame. Teach Taurus that having sexual feelings is normal, but that they don\u2019t necessarily need to act on every one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learning: School, homework and teachers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Taurus kids fall into one of two camps: either the grade-grubbing teacher\u2019s pets (it\u2019s all about status) or lazy students who only apply themselves to subjects that interest them. The non-academic Taurus types, however, tend to have street smarts in spades, which will serve them well in sales or \u201cschmoozer\u201d type jobs later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your Taurus is underachieving in school, consider steering them into a different curriculum than the standard \u201creading, writing and \u2018rithmetic\u201d\u2014possibly even a technical or trade school. You might even give your Bull some real-world work experience, even starting with simple tasks helping out at a relative\u2019s shop or business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Household conflict<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Duck and run for cover! Taurus kids are like dormant volcanoes: serene until too much heat and pressure build up. To prevent epic explosions, don\u2019t expose your Taurus child to chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
