Capricorn Child

You can never treat a Capricorn child like an ordinary child; they will put you in your place so thoroughly that you will be astonished at your own clumsiness beside them. They are determined and insistent about what they like. If there is something they really want, they will certainly get it. Rather than group friendships they will choose one particular friend they are fond of and spend all their time with them. They will put their toys in a particular place, and if you move them there will be an uproar. Their stubborn nature will not allow mealtimes to change; even when something they are used to has worn out they will not give it up, and they will wear a favourite pair of trousers in its worn-out state. You should take care to buy the things you get them in pairs. Their taste in shopping is curious; they have a passion for collecting and may gather pens, keyrings and objects with unusual logos in particular. A camera, binoculars and a microscope are things they would like to buy. They also like a classic leather school bag or wallet, and a watch. They are drawn to unusual reference books and to out-of-the-ordinary musical instruments.
