The child
It is a blessing to be the parent of a January child, for they hardly ever throw tantrums and act childish. Capricorn children have great respect for elders and you will rarely have to shout at them for they rarely indulge in pranks, and are very responsible, tolerant and loving.
What they seek are respect and authority, and thought they rarely display a temper tantrum, they do express their disapproval clearly and wait for your reaction. They become organised from an early age and never waste their time in useless games, whatever they are involved in has to be constructive and practical. This is why they sometimes need to be forced to go out in the sunshine and play.
They don't learn quickly but are very careful and thorough which is why they always manage an A-grade in school. After coming back from school, they get down to doing their homework right away, all things come after their duties and responsibilities. In fact, they can be the ones you can count on when you grow old because they will care for you just the way you cared for them in childhood.
