Your Cancer baby in Year Two
Now
that your little crab has reached her first birthday, you’ll see more
of that Cancerian curiosity rise to the surface. Your baby has lots of
energy and she digests information very quickly, although she may take
her time letting on just how much she knows. Still, baby Cancer's
natural shyness won't get in the way for too long if you can be patient
and gentle. Initial shyness may also cause language development to lag
a bit, but once she get going, your baby will have no trouble making
short sentences with gusto.
Baby Cancer is most likely to put
off walking until absolutely necessary. Crawling around close to the
ground just feels so secure! She might not take too readily to new
foods, either; however, she'll gobble up the foods she does like with
genuine appreciation. Best approach to baby Cancer's mealtime: Don't
push what she doesn't like.
In fact, whatever it is you want
them to do, crabs respond best if they don't feel cornered. Any sign of
resistance should be your signal to change your focus; if you persist,
your child will be likely to dig in those heels (or claws). This goes
for toilet training, too; your child might become interested in the
idea around the mid-year mark, but if not, just let it go. Lots of
affection and encouragement coupled with very little pressure equals a
very happy Cancer baby!
