So Christmas is coming up and I used to battle with if I should tell my children the kid version of Santa Clause, that he was a friendly man that gave gifts to needy etc.
After Christmas is Easter so do I tell them about this Easter Bunny.
Well lets be honest I have already told them that Santa Clause was a very giving man but in no way shape or form is he coming to our house to bring gifts. I tell her that people really close to her that loves her bought or made her a bunch of gifts. But now we celebrate Kwanzaa, 7 days of celebration and principals! Simple and no need to lie!
And the same with the Easter Bunny I mean they don't even lay eggs 😂
But my whole thing is why teach our children not to lie and remain honest, when we are doing all of the lying to them?
We lie about Santa Clause, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy, and so much other things, I will not lie to my child.
In my years I have seen many children heartbroken when they find out none of these characters are real. They cry, they have nightmares and it's sad that we as parents allow things like this to hurt our children.
So stay honest
