Raising Baby by the Stars

A new kind of parenting manual, filled with insight, practical tips?and fun! There comes that moment in the life of new parents when they have just one wish?that their baby came with instructions. The fact is, they do. It's called a birth chart. Based on a newborn's date and time of birth, it's a map that shows the position of the sun, major planets, moon, and other astral bodies and how, working together, they influence and shape a person's life. In other words, as Raising Baby by the Stars so clearly shows, astrology reveals your baby's personality, character traits, likes and dislikes, triggers for pleasure and triggers for fussiness, even best-suited books, toys, and activities. Divided into three parts?The Twelve Signs; A Guide to Your Little One's Mind, Spirit, and Well-Being; and Parent and Child Relationships: Bonding with Your Growing Star?Raising Baby by the Stars is a new kind of parenting manual. It's not about "Baby? with a generic capital B, but about your own unique child. Readers will discover that their curious and precociously communicative baby Gemini loves to socialize 24/7, but nothing is better for their buzzing brain than a restful reading ritual. On the other hand, a pragmatic, tradition-loving Capricorn with their old-before-their-time personality will need extra help connecting with peers. There are specifics on how to parent based on your own astrological identity (an Aries parent and an Aries child will connect through outdoor activities but may clash as a result of their being equally hotheaded). Best ways to design a nursery (art supplies are a must-have for Libras). How to boost your little one's physical and mental well-being (a back rub before bed will be especially soothing for a tense Leo). And so much more, all tapping into the timeless?and these days trendy?wisdom of the zodiac.
