Here’s the secret to your child’s sweet spot
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
While food isn't recommended as a regular reward or incentive for children, Taurus kids simply cannot resist the promise of a favorite treat. Whether it's ice cream, cookies or artisanal chocolate, this opulence-loving star sign has a weak knee for anything delicious. If you need to get them on board with your plans, an occasional decadent indulgence will have them happy to oblige.

Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Want to tempt your little Gemini to the extreme? Promise them a visit to a child-friendly museum where they can touch, explore and learn about the world around them. This ultra nerdy star sign loves to be intellectually stimulated and, since they're social butterflies, they'll want to talk your ear off about everything they see.

Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Perhaps the easiest child of the zodiac to bribe, Cancer isn't particularly demanding. They know what they like and it's almost always playing a favorite game with you. Whether it's a board game, a video game or an outdoor activity, they are suckers for competition and fun, and will be happy to appease you in return for a chance to kick your butt on the playing field.

Leo
July 23 – August 22
There's something primal about Leo children. They're more in touch with their feral side than most children and love exploring the wildnerness. To get them to behave in an instant, all you need to do is take them on a fishing trip or camping in the wild. They'll love living like cavemen and will be determined to catch the biggest fish ever seen!

Virgo
August 21 – September 22
So your Virgo child won't listen and you're desperate for a quick fix. The solution is simple: take them on a bike ride. This maiden sign tends to battle anxiety and stress, which is almost always self-induced. Riding bikes with you will help calm their overactive minds, give them a healthy boost of serotonin and, most important to them: it's fun.

Libra
September 23 – October 22
Curious Libra children love a challenge. If they're being ornery, suggest a neighborhood scavenger hunt and they'll turn from mini rebels to little helpers in no time flat. Make sure to add secret codes and a little mystery to the clues so your child and their friends can feel like true detectives.
