THE FIRE-SIGN PARENT usually appreciates and celebrates their child's uniqueness and talents, encouraging their youngster to excel and to meet life with vigor, enthusiasm, and a Positive, can-do spirit. They teach their child to view problems as challenges rather than obstacles, and are interested in seeing their child develop competence and independence as soon as possible. However, fire-sign parents often find the work and especially the routine of caring for a young child to be tedious and stultifying. Being freedom-loving souls, fire-sign people often resent the limitations on their mobility and actions, the slower pace, and the need to plan and schedule their daily lives instead of being able to come and go as freely and spontaneously as they once did. Because they cherish their own freedom, fire-sign parents often try to push their children to separate and become "independent" rewarding the child for venturing away from the safety of home and subtly or overtly pushing the child away when he or she expresses neediness, dependency, or fear of facing a new situation. Fire-sign parents can be quite impatient with their child's "babyish" needs or habits, especially if they persist longer than the parent believes they "should". "Act like a big girl," "Be brave," "Don't be a baby," and similar messages are frequently given by the fire-sign parent who is disinclined to deal with the young child's need for dependency and security -- feelings which are often seen as weaknesses. On the positive side, the fire-sign parent is usually quite fun-loving and playful, delights in their children's exuberance, and is not inclined to squelch their youngster's spontaneity, for in many ways the fire-sign parent is still a child at heart and can play with their children -- no small gift. Also, the fire-sign person is usually much more comfortable parenting older children.
