Once a Gemini toddler has learned to talk – and that is, generally, at an earlier-than-average age – he or she is unlikely to stop. The same goes for reading and writing. Gemini is the sign of communication and it is the most important aspect of Geminis’ lives from the moment they are born.

Gemini children have quick wits and lively minds. They need a constant supply of material providing mental stimulation and must be allowed to dart from project to project if and when it suits them. That does not mean that they should not be encouraged to complete whatever tasks they start: they should. But, on the whole, Gemini youngsters do seem to function better when they are dealing with more than one thing at a time.

Because of this propensity to become easily bored, Gemini children are in danger of never learning or doing anything properly. They need to be taught that to master any task requires time and hard work. Parents should try to lighten their Gemini youngsters; natural intensity with laughter, fun and games. Their logical minds make it hard for them to cope with displays of emotion.

Since they have their own very well-oiled mental processes, Gemini children often find it extremely difficult to accept the beliefs or attitudes of other people. As teenagers, Geminis tend to be restless, moody and in constant need of support and encouragement for their ideas, no matter how outlandish they may be. It is important they their parents give them rational and clear-cut reasons for any limitations they may impose upon them. To tell a Gemini child not to do something ‘because I say so’ is a waste of time and, ultimately,
unproductive.
