This personality does everything possible to attract a partner.

As a child: Libra as a child quickly learns to please people and mediate in disputes. This winsome individual needs to be steered gently through life. People-orientated, this child learns best in a sociable environment where the emphasis is on cooperation rather than competition, and where a love of learning and arts is encouraged.
