摩羯父母-严厉要求高

 　　摩羯母象处女母一样, 着重细节, 注重孩子的学校作业和总体表现, 由于太野心, 经常让孩子做过于自己能力的事情, 急于求成; 摩羯父太严厉, 容易对孩子的弱点没耐心, 常以大人的标准去评价孩子, 只是用纪律约束孩子, 而不是给他们放松和快乐.

　　The Capricorn Parent

　　The Capricorn mother (December 22 to January 19) is a far better parent than the Capricorn father. This type of mother is rather like the Virgo mother in her detailed¹ super-Guide for Parents vision of her children and her persistent² efforts to raise the standard of the child's schoo1 work and general behavior. Like the Virgo mother，she sometimes errs³ on the side of commission rather than omission⁴. She is exceedingly ambitious，and may in her zeal⁵ for Progress push her children be-yond their capabilities⁶．The Capricorn father is far too exacting⁷ and severe. He resembles the Scorpio parent in that no has no patience with the weaknesses of childhood，and judges children by adult standards. He is harsh and unsympathetic, and thinks only in terms of discipline. Relaxation⁸ and pleasure have litt1e place in his own program，and he sees no need to supply his children with enjoyment，which he thinks of as self-indulgence．This type of parent dominated by the planet Saturn⁹ as he is，can expect 1ittle but fear from his children．Unless he tempers his severity，he will lose out in the most satisfactory emotional returns obtainable by everyone who is a parent；that is，he may forfeit the love of his Children
