The watermark of Cancer is no exception. People born under this sign have great empathy, calmness and determination. Today we will tell you what it is like to raise the boy Cancer in the family, this brooding, dreamy and sometimes self-contained crumb.
Water Element Sign
Just as not all water is burned and irresistible, so not every water sign is impulsive and unbalanced. Crayfish are similar to lakes and ponds somewhere in the middle of quiet forests and thickets - quiet and uniform, gentle and enveloping, but with their dreams and secrets. A characteristic feature of this zodiac sign is to go with the flow, staying away from the irresistible speed and dangers of the outside world. For them, the main thing in life is a sense of security and protection from external stimuli. Water for Crayfish is not a stormy river, which opens the way for new achievements and discoveries, but a kind of firmness, protecting from these “new products”.
A monotonous and stable life for Cancer is a self-evident ideal that must be adhered to. Crayfish are in no hurry and in no hurry, preferring a fast pace to a smooth and consistent study of themselves and the world at the moment.
All these factors make Cancers wonderful and loyal family people who are able throughout their lives to maintain inner coziness and comfort in any home.
Character description
The strong emotionality and dreaminess that this zodiac sign gives to children can play a cruel joke with them - the Cancer boys usually grow up extremely sensitive and tender. They require much more attention to themselves and their problems than others. The gentle nature makes Cancers very susceptible to the influence of the external environment. Such children can be a frequent object of ridicule in kindergartens and schools, children may periodically have nightmares, and scary monsters appear in the dark corners of rooms.
But do not think that these factors make Cancer a problem child. The main positive feature that the stars of such a boy endowed with can be considered a huge affection for loved ones. And this attachment is not one-sided at all - Crayfish are always ready to help their relatives, likewise thanking them for their care. Such a child will always be happy to help you in your home and take care of the upbringing of your little brothers and sisters.
For small Crayfish, the right atmosphere in their home is important as air. In a happy and prosperous family, these children grow up extremely visionary and intelligent, capable of, unfortunately, understanding. But if Cancer feels even the slightest hostility in his direction or notice the same hostility between his parents - it is likely that he will withdraw into himself. Getting a child out of this condition can then be very difficult.
Emotional characteristics
Like all zodiac signs, Cancer has its positive and negative sides. In this case, we will consider characteristics that are more characteristic for the boy.
So, the pluses or favorable traits of character and behavior are as follows.
- Empathy and sociability. These traits allow the Cancers to make friends. They are very inclined to empathy and perfectly feel the desires and motives of other people.
- Developed creative imagination. Such children rarely have special talents in the team, but they are much more diligent and really love what they do. With due diligence, this can turn into a serious hobby, which will be able to bring Cancers good earnings in the future.
- A heightened sense of responsibility and independence. Crayfish boys are one of the first signs who, from early school grades, has been striving to earn their own money. They are extremely diligent and capable of setting ambitious but achievable goals.
- Sensual and romantic nature. These are innate traits that allow Cancers to have great success with the opposite sex.
This means that such boys often have friends among girls.
Cons minuses that should be paid close attention when raising a boy of Cancer are as follows.
- Suspicion and timidity. Screaming and crying in the apartment where they raise little Cancer is common. But you should not think that children do this to annoy the parent. Although the boys are sometimes capricious for no apparent reason, they only do this because they are really afraid of a lot of things. To avoid these problems, parents should pay more attention to their child, tell him what to fear and what is not worth it.
- Sensitivity and a tendency to conceal their true feelings. For Cancer, whether it be a boy or a girl, the favorable influence of the parents, and especially the mother, is extremely important. With cold and unsociable parents, this child will feel extremely constrained and closed. In the fight against this shortcoming, parents should sometimes take their mind off the hustle and bustle of their children.
- Relative stinginess. As a frugal and wasteful sign, the boy Cancer often does not like to share with other sweets, homework or even money. All property belongs only to Cancers, and very few can claim it.
Character and education at different stages of growing up
Birth
Even at birth, Crayfish are not particularly large in weight and in the same small stature. When looking at this baby, I want to protect him from the whole outside world. Even being very young, such a child perfectly captures the warmth and love addressed to him. That is why, as a rule, for the boy of Cancer, the mother always remains in the first place - the same sensual, tender and patient with his frequent whims. Only in her company can he feel calm and protected.
Already at this stage, Cancers can actively show their empathy, which can be useful in resolving many family conflicts or conflicts between peers, and prevent Cancer from adequately assessing the situation, succumbing to the influence of other people. In the choice of food, this sign can be extremely selective (like most children), Cancer is not one of those who are able to eat the same porridge or soup day after day.
And very often, these vagaries cross all borders, forcing parents to buy a bunch of sweets for their child, which, in turn, can adversely affect Cancer’s weak stomach.
Preschool age
A difficult stage in the education of a very small Cancer is its sending to kindergarten. Such children are very painfully experiencing a long separation with their parents and may experience serious problems in making friends. And if in the future contacts with peers can be improved, the parents of the boy Cancer will need to listen more than once to his whims about the unwillingness to leave the house. Moreover, such a child can see neglect in sending him to kindergarten so often. He is unlikely to tell parents and even mothers about this, but secretly may feel unnecessary.
Such children are especially sensitive to the birth of a second child in the family. Boy Cancer immediately notices a change in priorities in caring for him and the newborn. If parents do not pay attention to it in time, in the future it can result in large family quarrels. By itself, small Cancer is a completely non-conflict child, and already at 5-7 years old it will try to perform feasible housework.
School age
Upon reaching 7-8 years, the appearance of the boy Cancer can change very much. Facial features will be slightly roughened, eyes will become more expressive and bright. However, in terms of physique and growth, such a boy will always remain strong and short. Most Cancers are slightly slower growing up - all because of the same poor ability to make contact with their peers. The child receives most of the information from parents who far from always understand the desires of even their child, not like the others. Therefore, the boy Cancer may be poorly adapted to a sharp change in social circle, which happens at school.
At school, this zodiac sign is diligent, independent and responsible, it rarely needs to be forced to do homework - the child is quite capable of coping with it himself, but does not like the tough time frame. In a collective, these signs are most often calm, reasonable and not inclined to unleash conflicts. Crayfish are not one of those who will be rude to the teacher - they respect the opinions of adults and will listen to him. Here are just a sharp criticism in their favor such a child is absolutely unstable.
Parents should work on this painful sensitivity, teach the boy to see tips for correcting mistakes in criticism.
