天蝎父母-最差劲的家长哟

 　　天蝎座的父母很可能会成为家庭的情感中心，不管你自己是否意识到了这一点。你感情强烈、敏感而热切，你和你的孩子之间关系非常密切。

　　你的孩子会感觉你相当复杂难懂，甚至有些神秘，所以，为了表现得更加开朗和坦率，你可能需要违背自己的天性。如果你能够对你的家人敞开心扉，你就可以和他们建立更加亲密、积极的关系。要想做到这一点，你就需要把你的感受和担忧说出来，并且耐心地倾听你的孩子有什么想法。

　　The Scorpio Parent

　　The Scorpio parent (October 24 to November 22) is, alas¹! One of the most prolific² types, and the poorest-equipped to bring up children. They (both sexes) are impatient, ambitious, tyrannical and sever³. Their devotion to their children is boundless⁴, but their behavior lacks common sense and control. They are often harsh, and their methods of discipline too severe. Despite the fact that Scorpio people are very wise and have an intuitive knowledge of life, they are too much the slave of their passions to put into practice the restrained common sense so necessary to the guidance of children. The Scorpio parents must learn to harness their passions and serve their children, giving them the benefit of their own natural gifts. Otherwise the offspring of such a home environment will grow up too weak-kneed and cowed to fight the ordinary battles of life, to say nothing of their inward and secret resentment⁵ against the parents.
