Continued from page 1
Young Virgos will be helpful around house, especially if imitating an adult, and careful with their belongings. They can become irritated if other children fail to meet their own exacting standards when playing with toys or tidying them away. Parents of Virgos should encourage reading of fairy stories and myths and play make-believe games. When they are older, Virgos enjoy remembering magical moments. A typical Virgo child is healthy, although if they become unhappy or worried about something, they may succomb to hypercondria. Typical illnesses include diarrhoea, appendicitis and indigestion.
