The (Wonderful) Truth About Santa

Product Information

In general, though, if your child poses a question about Santa that you just can't rationalize, Geering's solution is to simply say: "It's a special kind of magic Santa has, isn't it? Do you ever feel that magic when you do something kind for others?" What Can Parents Do When Kids Learn the Truth About Santa? Regardless of how you’ve talked about Santa Claus with your family in past years, it’s never too late to start using certain phrases when you reference Santa going forward. As parents, we want our children to have a fun and magical holiday, but we also want to feel truthful. There are many ways to encompass both in your discussions. The only thing I did have to reword when reading it to my son was the part about one day you’ll have children of your own as I don’t know for certain one day he will have children so I just said one day you MAY have children. If your child asks how Santa can be at the mall and at the zoo and at their classmate's church all at the same time, you could certainly explain that Santa employs many helpers this time of year. But you can also get a better sense of your child's understanding by saying: "That's a very good question! Santa is so busy these days – how do you think he's in so many places at once?" When I was a child, Korea was in the midst of a big financial crisis. My family suffered through some tough times, just like most Koreans did. I can’t imagine how heavy the burden was for my parents, who were raising three children. Now an adult, I can clearly see the love of my parents who struggled to protect the dreams of their children during difficult times. This story may sound like a story of a poor kid, but for me, Christmas is a day full of memories of my parents’ love.

As with all questions, Geering recommends parents "match your child's development with how you respond" and suggests providing some answers to help their child's understanding – whether it's a fun explanation for how Santa's sleigh is powered or why Santas might look different for different families.

I had been so focused on this beautiful coming out party for Santa that it never occurred to me that the death of one childhood fantasy would mean the death of them all. I did the most mindful thing I could think of at the moment and just…shrugged. It’s a great starting point to open up a conversation and encourage questions with your child about the reality of Santa Claus.

My husband Nathan really got into Santa with a daddy who loved creating the reindeer footprints and really getting into the magic of it all. While it was wonderful, Nathan took it hard when he learned the truth about Santa, and felt he'd been lied to. While Santa can be magical... be careful to ensure it's truly magical for your kiddo and not just you. We can come into parenting with our own understanding of what is comfortable and safe - yet our children are not us. And they are not living in the same world you did.

My grand fur baby Scratch would often get up on the piano while my granddaughter was playing it. Now, Scratch plays the piano for treats.
