Your
Baby’s Chinese Animal Signs
By Cecilia Koh
Do you believe that the characteristics of the animal in the year that
your baby was born can influence your baby's character?
I
did not believe this until I
started my childcare centre and with
each batch of
I
learnt that they do have some
common characteristics of their animal signs therefore I had to tailor
my care to meet their needs in the area of their learning and
activities. For example monkey children cannot sit still too long so we
had learning activities using a lot of movement like dancing and hide
and seek. Dragon
are
more
‘intellectual' and able to sit still so they benefit from use
of flash cards. Knowing your baby's inborn characteristics will make it
easier for you to understand your baby and his needs so that you are
able to provide the support and care that is appropriate. Below is a
quick and simplified reference guide for you but please remember that
it is not the only aspect of influence.
Pig
are
joyful children who love to
giggle and play. They are easy going, helpful, courteous and kind. They
love anything that appeals to the senses such as music, good food and
so on. They love to play with other children and usually have many
friends. They have confidence in themselves and in others but are often
naïve and too trusting which makes it easy to con them.
Rat
love
to be cuddled and tend to
depend a lot on their parents when young, but as they grow they develop
natural leadership qualities which a trait from being first in the
Chinese horoscope. As toddlers they start to exhibit very active mental
abilities and are eager to learn. They love to collect things and will
fill their bedrooms with pebbles, bits of paper and anything they
fancy. Generally, young rats are smart little people with artistic and
literary skills as well as excel in sports.
Ox
are
shy, quiet and amenable.
They are independent, resourceful children and are happiest when left
to entertain themselves. If interrupted or forced to do something
against their will, they will likely pout or show their temper. They
are creative children who love subjects with constructive appeal, art
and music. They are usually polite, respectful and hardworking children.
Tiger
are
cheerful children with a
zest and passion for life that ignites their curious nature. They enjoy
the competitiveness and athleticism that sports require. From an early
age, tiger children cannot pass on a dare or a challenge. Intelligent
and friendly, tiger children carry a curiosity about life and their
environment. In class, they tend to enjoy and do better at subjects
that give them the ability and creative
freedom to express themselves.
Rabbit
are
very sensitive and tend to
let their emotions get the better of them. They cry easily and often
become branded as cry
by
their friends. They are very
attached to their mothers and will maintain a close relationship with
them throughout their lives. These children need stability, routine and
a schedule in order to do their best. They are interested in the arts
especially music but will enjoy sports as well.
Dragon
have
vivid personalities and
are independent from birth. They are noisy and active with very
imaginative and inquisitive natures. This could cause them to be seen
as naughty or trouble makers especially in school from the teachers'
views. On the other hand some dragon children are loners who daydream
and drift into their own world of make-believe. Either way, they need
careful attention and special handling to bring out the best in them.
Their creativity and talents must be encouraged.
Snake
are
often loners who enjoy
playing quietly by themselves in their bedrooms or yards. They tend to
pout and hold grudges when upset, embarrassed or angry and may lash out
at the person who caused this emotional upset. They often have learning
disabilities therefore they need patience and extra time in order to
keep up to date with lessons taught in school.
Horse
are
chatty! At an early age
they begin gurgling and "talking" to themselves. They love to hear
their own voice and so will babble for hours without saying anything at
all. Eventually, these children will make great language scholars who
will excel at communications. Horse children are independent and will
fight for their rights if they feel they've been wronged. They will
also rebel if they feel justice has not been served.
Sheep or goat
are
very sensitive. They cry at
the drop of a hat, especially if their feelings are hurt or they are
embarrassed. Often they will cry to get what they want. They are very
affectionate and dependent on their parents. They do not exhibit a
great deal of self-confidence so parents and teachers need to
constantly encourage them to bring out their artistic natures. They are
generally well-behaved, well-mannered children, who despise aggression
and conflict.
Monkey
are
full of life and cannot
stay still for long. They are vivacious, colourful children curious
about everything in life. Although they are sharp and intellectual,
their lack of concentration and playful antics in school may land them
in trouble with their superiors.
Rooster
are
bright intelligent children
and like to learn new things. They are creative and alert. They play
and interact easily with other children and are always eager to please
their elders. However, they are not the best scholars but will excel in
subjects where interaction and social skills are required.
Dog
are
creative and able to
entertain themselves for hours. They do not mind playing by themselves,
often inventing games and puzzles while doing so. They are responsible
children who love to take on and complete as many tasks as possible
which gives them a sense of achievement.
In case you are planning to have more
the
above chart might help you
decide which animal baby you want. Don't forget that there are other
aspects to consider such as compatibility with your own animal sign.
