Your Libra baby in Year Two

Generally an easy-going and graceful baby, little Libra will be ready to enjoy an increasingly busy social agenda during her second year. Your child loves to be with other babies, so classes and mommy groups will delight her. Most likely an early walker and talker, your baby will be a social magnet wherever she goes.

The big challenge for Libra is decision making. Help her start developing this skill early on by allowing her to make choices - for example, between two shirts to wear, or two toys to bring to the park. The more practice she gets now, the stronger her decision-making "muscle" will be in the future. Bear in mind, too, that your little one is easily swayed by the opinion of others, so help her focus on how she feels.

Baby Libra shouldn't have much trouble with potty training. Reward systems work very well with this child, and so do high praise and lots of hugs. Little Libra has an inborn sense of style and color, so let your toddler choose her own beautiful training pants!
