Scorpio parents aren’t afraid to show a bit of tough love so that they are ready for the real world and can stand up for themselves when necessary.

The most relaxed parents ever

With their need for a degree of independence and alternative perspective on life, it can sometimes be difficult for an Aquarius personality to connect with their children in the same way other Zodiacs can. The peak of an Aquarius’ parenthood often comes when their children have reached adolescence, at which point they connect more so as friends rather than parent and child. While this a healthy dynamic in later years, Aquarius’ lack of tact can often blind them from their children’s emotional needs.
