He is a toddler! 3.5 years but seeks and craves praise..

He is a libra and it says this star sign are known to people please and get taken advantage of..

I know people may comment on his age but he is very aware/empathetic and I see he gives in to other very easily - hands over toys, doesn't snatch from other kids, very considerate for someone so young..

I see he wants to help others and get praise for that..

How do I prevent too much of this?

Thanks x

@DropYourSword

If you believed in that sort of thing...what would be the expected behaviour of a 5 year old Taurus?
Logical and like the finer things in life those kids do but not in a snobby way

Are you serious?? Being considerate is not a bad quality. They're only bad if they end up harming your son if he ends up getting picked on which is not good. I suggest you look up 'agreeableness' as a personality trait. I suspect he might be on the higher end of it, it and you are in the lower end.

Are you the kind of person who sees kindness, generosity and friendliness as a weakness? That people like that are asking to be taken advantage of and if you do, it's their fault, not yours?
