Kids aren't dumb so we shouldn't treat them like they are
Kids aren't little adults so you have to communicate with them in a developmentally appropriate manner.

Kids aren't dumb so we shouldn't treat them like they are
i agree but that doesnt have to consist of leading them to believe some bull**** is a reality. there are plenty of things in this world that are amazing and "magical" why sell them wolf tickets?Kids aren't little adults so you have to communicate with them in a developmentally appropriate manner.
I dont celebrate Christmas for spiritual reasons. I have four small children and the ones old enough to understand clearly know what Christmas is why it popular and why we dont celebrate it. They also know that other people are free to do what they want and therefore they shouldn't be telling other kids Santa isnt real, ruining the what their parents want them to experience. But my goal is to raise children with high character qualities like honesty. So lying to them for fun or whatever is inconsistent and will help defeat what Im working to instill in them.
na bruh. this is group think mentality.Think some of y'all really over thinking it. I think letting your kids just figure it out on their own or being told through an older cousin or friend is the right way to go.
I'll be damned if I'm walking thru the mall with my kid and he or she sees hundreds of kids lined up with smiles and lists waiting to take a photo with Santa. Imagine their face... The kid won't be thinking they all look like a bunch off suckas... He will just be thinking they all look happy, I wanna be happy too and take a photo with the guy from tv
Like Santa is no different than a super hero or a Disney character. What's the harm in children enjoying it?
I know wrestling, tv shows, and movies are real, does that take away from my fun. Nahbecause they know its not real from the jump doesnt mean they cant enjoy it.
egg zacklyFoolish argument that you are decreasing your kids ability to imagine and/or be kids by removing The Idea of Santa. As if that is the only way to do either
youre going overboard fam. this is nonsense. like someone said kids need to be brought up in a developmentally appropriate fashion. that doesnt mean feeding them fairytales as truth and it also doesnt consist of blunt, explicit and unfiltered facts. there are more than 2 options here"daddy look at me, I'm a princess"
"no the hell you're not. Neither your mother nor I assumed any royal titles, therefore you have none. You are in pre-k and your doing a horrible job at spelling. Go grab the legal pad and a pencil."

"daddy, grandpa stole my nose!!!"
"no, your nose is in fact still in tact with your face. Grandpa stole from the irs in 1987 and 2011. That's why he was on "vacation" until your 3rd birthday. Nah scratch that, he was in Lexington correctional facility. Gotta keep it [emoji]128175[/emoji]."

"daddy where do babies come from? Bobby at school said angels come down kissed mommy on her belly. "
" nah that's bs. You see those henny bottles on top of the fridge? Me and your mom and your uncle Tony ran through all 4 bottles in a day. And had your mom on some bang bus steez. I'm still waiting for the paternity test to come back so stop calling me daddy for now. Just refer to me as Reginald for now."

No, kids are not dumb, however they have the mental capacity of, well, a child,which is why we use terms like "she's smart for a 5 year old".
I know wrestling, tv shows, and movies are real, does that take away from my fun. Nahbecause they know its not real from the jump doesnt mean they cant enjoy it.
Real tearsI remember the Christmas that i learned santa was in fact not real.
It was a cold holiday, and not just because of the snow.
My family spent that particular Christmas at my grandparents house, along with my uncle, aunt, and 3 of my cousins.
One of my cousins, allen, was older than all of us......he was the cool cousin.
On Christmas eve i was setting up a table with milk and cookies and allen sees this and says "loool santa isnt real you ******...my dad...your dad....grandpa...our moms...they get the gifts man loool"
I was like "you're a liar santa is real he always comes and eats the cookies and drinks the milk youre stupid"
Then my other cousin michele said "lol hes right....how can one guy go to every house in the world"
I was like

Later that night i was asleep and Allen woke me up
He was like "go down stairs....but really quiet....and peek your head into the living room. Discouragingly i did so.
What i witnessed altered my life from that moment.
My grandpa was downstairs in a wife beater and boxers...he was finishing putting gifts under the tree. He then plopped some snow on the ground and made footprints leading from the chimney.
He ate the cookies.
All of them.
Then he stood back to look at the tee and drink the milk.
That is when he turned and saw me. And he was like

i ran back to my room clearly upset.

My cousin allen was sitting up in his bed like
