If your toddler is acting aggressively, you should try to figure out where that behavior is happening. Make a mental list of where your child displays aggressive behavior. Does it happen in one setting or many settings? If the behavior is only happening in one place, like a store, try to figure out what triggers that behavior. There is something in the environment, like the noise, the amount of people, or even the lighting, that is causing the behavior. In addition to figuring out where it happens, think about when your toddler is aggressive. Certain times of the day or stressors may trigger aggressive behavior. Think about specific events that happen prior to the behavior. This may help you figure out what is causing the aggressive behavior.  The behavior may happen when your child is tired, so right before nap time. It may happen during transition periods. Your child may be aggressive right after someone does something they don't like, like you tell them to stop playing or someone takes something from them. Being overstimulated is a common trigger for aggressive behavior or tantrums. There may be other reasons your child acts in an aggressive way. Maybe your child has experienced a major change that has upset them. The behavior may also be geared towards just one person or a group of people. Singling out the factors that are causing the aggression can help you deal with it. For example, your child may be upset because you just started back to work, their grandmother has moved away, or they’ve switched daycares. The child may be aggressive towards a particular person, like a person at daycare or a family member, or everyone.

Summary: Figure out where the aggressive behavior occurs. Examine when the behavior happens. Decide if there is another factor.


. As if it wasn't already crystal clear, Capricorn has drive and is determined. Though they say opposites attract, this is not one of those times. Those who are laid-back need not apply. Cappy needs someone who can fuel their drive, not question why they're trying so hard. If you have it going on too, they'll be all that much more motivated. Capricorn isn't looking for someone who's only focused on their relationship. If you're getting into deep waters with yours, be sure to keep an eye on your career, your friends, and your hobbies. You shouldn't lose yourself and your dreams -- it's what Capricorn was drawn to in the first place! The one who's temperamental, mercurial, and erratic will not be a good fit for patient, rational Capricorn. If you're quick to anger or tears, Capricorn just straight up won't get you and will get exhausted. Be stable mentally and Cappy will know who they can lean on. Those with addictive or insecure personalities don't really have a place in Capricorn's world. If you're boozing away the weekends or spending days wrapped up in a pity party, Capricorn will not be having it. They desperately want life to be on an even keel at all times. Why do you think they plan everything out ahead of time? If you're poised and classy, Capricorn will see you as a boost to their image and someone who's just as driven and motivated as they are. They want the best. So stop the gossip, the drunk texting, the selfies, and bring out your inner Kate Middleton/Michelle Obama/Cary Grant. (All Capricorns, by the way!) This doesn't mean the richest, most lavish things. Carrying a Louis Vuitton purse doesn't make you classy. Being sophisticated is an inner maturity and grace and not what's strung on your arm. This, however, is one of the times where Capricorn needs an opposite to juxtapose their personality. While Capricorn is rational and logical, they are often stuck in their ways because of it. Since they're usually right, they find it hard to open their minds to others' opinions. They can be very stubborn and relentless. You'll need to work with them! It's because of their extensive planning that they can be so firm in their convictions. Since they've weighed everything out (or they think that they have), they see no need to budge. So if you can do the budging for them, the both of you will be better off. This will come in handy for two reasons: 1) Since your Cappy is so patient, being frazzled is something they won't tolerate and 2) they operate on a slower wavelength sometimes (like how your relationship progressed). It's also good for you and your stress level! Basically, it's important to be patient in your world and in your relationship. You'll be calmer, more relaxed, and be more willing to see things through till the end. It may take a while to break your Cappy down, but once you do, you'll be glad you were so willing to wait!
Summary: Be ambitious Be stable. Be classy. Be open-minded. Be patient.
