Your Sagittarian baby is a traveller. He wants to expand his world, which is why he will feel confined if wrapped too tightly or kept in a crib or playpen. This child wants to explore and will run away from you. Don’t be angry. He is not running "away"—he is running "to" something new and appealing. Keep your eye on this toddler!

Sagittarius is a restless sign. As soon as possible, this baby will want to be physically active. Your toddler will love little bicycles, swimming pools and anything to with outdoor sports.

All Sagittarians are slightly claustrophobic. Therefore, let this baby enjoy the outdoors. Another thing Sagittarian children love is a pet—the larger, the better. The two signs that embrace animals are Aries and Sagittarius. Later in life, those born under these signs will fight to save animals from cruelty.

Believe it or not, your baby is a philosopher. Talk to your Sagittarian baby about anything and everything because he will love the sound of your voice and hearing the rhythm of your words.

Please note: Sagittarius values truth. (Yet, ironically they’re smooth promoters.) Nevertheless, trust is important to Sagittarius. Therefore, always tell your child the truth and do your best to keep your promises.

While Sagittarius is not a worrier, your child needs to have positive vibes and positive news at all times, because optimism is his lifeline. Your Sagittarius child always has to believe that something better is around the next corner.

Optimism and physical activity are survival issues for Sagittarius.
