The sign of Pisces rules the tear ducts. Therefore, when your child is frustrated, she will cry a lot. It's important to know you do not have "crybaby" for a child. This is simply how Pisceans manifest their frustration.

The Pisces children love whimsy, fairy tales and make-believe. They love illusion and want to play dress-up or "let's pretend." And most of all, they love shoes! Pisces children are actors and like to take on a new identity when they play. This does not mean they have a weak grasp of reality. It means your Pisces child has a fantastic imagination that can help her be a success as an adult.

This is an extremely sensitive child. Her feelings are hurt if she feels rejected. But more than that, she is sensitive in picking up on the vibes of the people around her. If you are upset, when you nurse this child, she will pick up this energy and be upset, too.

Kindness and compassion are natural to this child and she might want to save little insects or other little beings from death and destruction.

As this child grows, you will see her belief about what she is capable of determines her success. If she believes she can do something, she can. If she believes she can't do something, she can't. Hugs and encouragement can bolster the inner confidence of this child.

The young Pisces is naturally compassionate and caring toward her siblings. In some ways, your little Pisces baby is an old soul.
