This is my daughter's chart...she is only 2 and very stubborn. If she doesn't want to do something nothing you do/say will convince her. She also knows the entire alphabet, how to count to 10, colors, shapes and how to spell her name (again, she's 2) So what else do I expect from this smarty pants as she gets older? lol Thanks in advance!

This just a reply from one mother to another. All kids test at that age. It is part of normal development. If it is your first child, it seems bigger than it is. However, you may be assuming personality issues when it is normal development. That is my intuition but I could be wrong.

Hi Yeah I would agree with Ami Ann to a certain degree - my son is nearly 2 and he sounds very similar to your daughter! ;DI tend to treat his bouts of 'no' with another toddler trick. I ask him 'why?' and I keep asking him until he either changes his mind because he can't find a good reason why he's refusing anymore, or I take his attention onto something else briefly to see if he'll co-operate when we come back to it. It's worked to some extent so far so fingers crossed! ;D I think you have to embrace and harness that intelligence somehow. Good luck and congratulations on having such a clever little girl!! xx *edited to add* Just noticed her birthday is the same as mine... so if I'm anything to go by you'll have a child who 'knows her own mind' (think that was the phrase my mum always used!) and who responds well to being asked if she thinks her behaviour has been fair or not. I was always explained to in detail about why I was being told off and that helped tremendously. Then I was encouraged to think for myself about whether I'd been fair to everyone around me with my behaviour and I knew full well when I'd done the 'no' thing once too often - she's a bright kid so she'll know alright. I'd suggest over time trusting her judgement after good explanations, and giving her the decision to make. Librans always benefit from a bit of decision making practice! IP: Logged |

I'm sure there are other aspects that contribute, but the Mars opposition Pluto stands out in her chart. Looks like you will have your work cut out for you Mom, helping her, and guiding her through it. Some of the basic interpretations: Your nature will express a forceful will, which can be experienced by others as aggressiveness. This, plus the psychological manipulation that you attempt, can lead to stormy relations; and you are probably wiser to moderate and discipline your release of energy through a controlled awareness of its impact on others. You are likely to be involved in power struggles of one sort or another, for when you take action based upon your conscious feelings, you do so in such a way that you evoke strong opposition from other people. At other times you may feel that you have to respond very powerfully yourself when other people assert themselves, probably because you feel that their actions are a direct threat to you. Whether you perceive yourself to be powerful, or you see other people as powerful, you need to understand yourself better, and tone down your responses, for you sometimes come across stronger than you need to, and this will eventually alienate other people. You need to learn how to use your power more constructively,then you can do a great deal. The opposition between Mars and Pluto shows a defiant attitude. Sometimes there is a lack of control over aggressive tendencies. You can alienate some people as you assert your rights, or what you believe to be your rights. You must evaluate the positive and negative aspects of any idea or plan. Always consider the values of compromise before taking any action.

I imagine a child of that age is operating at their Moon sign level (feelings, moods, likes/dislikes, quite primal needs), being too young to have moved to sunsign level. She has her Moon is early Leo - which takes care of the stubborness and might add extra drama, power or flourish to her behaviour and character. It might also make her derive special comfort from attention - hence adding to the desire to impress by doing things so well.As to being smart, who knows? But I like Mercury in Scorpio because it makes her interested in things, potentially a strategic thinker, and gives her a drive to master things (as well as find things out). IP: Logged |
