July 23-August 22
Your little Leo has an outgoing personality and loves to perform! They will try almost any competitive activity with the idea of making their parents proud. This month, your child will be very excited as the center of attention for their birthday. Don’t be surprised if they get a little disappointed that they are not receiving all of the attention for the entire month!
Divide the month out into two special activities, like a trip to a trampoline park to spend their infinite energy. You can also play a game at home, which can teach them that they can’t always win. This is especially important for them during their birthday month when they can feel extra competitive. Teach them how fun it can be to play a game whether you win or lose, adding in a lot of laughter. Take a similar approach with baby Leo’s by bringing them to a park in their stroller, then making it go really fast and pretending you’re in a race! They already love competition even at that early age. Clapping and cheering for them is key. At any age, Leos need to know that their birthday is a celebration for their parents as well. Show them their baby book so you can reflect on memories together, emphasizing that their birth has enhanced your own life.
Finally, the ideal gift for a Leo, like Monopoly and Legos, is one that teaches them how to play fairly while encouraging parent-child participation.
