Scorpio Parent and Gemini Child

* As the Scorpio parent of a Gemini child, you may observe that in a number of ways they are very different to you. However, when it comes to shrewdness of intellect, you’ll find this kid is definitely a chip off the old block!

* Both of you are unusually smart cookies, but while you base your judgments on your intuitive insights, your Gemini child takes a more logical approach by gathering all the relevant facts and figures. Your minds also work differently in that young Gemini is a multi-tasker, while you prefer to focus on one thing at a time.

* It may often worry you that your Gemini child hasn’t inherited your impressive concentration skills. But the key strength they possess which you may be lacking is flexibility. They can adapt more easily to changing circumstances than you, and if something or someone disappears from their life, they will find it a lot easier to let go and move on.

* If you’re the Scorpio mother of a Gemini child, you’ll admire their quick wit and clever come-backs. But when their irreverent humor is directed against you, your sensitive feelings will take quite a pounding. Overcome your instinctive desire to hit back at them and instead teach them that not everyone is as thick skinned as they are.

* If you’re a Scorpio father, you’ll learn early on that a controlling style of parenting only brings out the worst in this freedom loving kid. No matter how forcefully you try to lay down the law, they’ll always find an ingenious way of getting round the rules!
