Cancer - Cancer as a child
The Cancer child is the homebody of the Zodiac, a shy and sensitive sort who would rather play in their room than face the brave new world. Emotional as well, this child will cry easily if things aren't going their way or if there is some upset going on in the family. A peaceful place is what this babe craves! Staying close to home, the Cancer child can be expected to tug on Mom's apron strings regularly. This can be a good thing, though, as this child loves to be helpful. Maternal in nature, the Cancer child is also a good choice to look after the younger kids in the family. These children are natural babysitters and can keep the neighborhood kids happy for hours with games and other domestic pursuits. As this child is possessed of an excellent memory, studying and test-taking will come easily to them. As they can occasionally be moody, it's best to give the Cancer child room when they're feeling blue. While they might at times feel sorry for themselves and even become lazy, it won't last for long. It's much more fun, after all, to be involved! Most of all, the Cancer child appreciates family, so expect this youngster to revel in family reunions and any and all family adventures.
