I believe that lying to a child about fictional characters, such as: Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, etc., makes the child enjoy the holidays more/ of the event than if there was nothing to believe The lies produced by the parents of these children can be confusing and hurtful to children, but they can also bring out the magic of the holidays. So how do we know what might happen when we tell these “little lies” to the children we are raising? Knowing the story of “Santa Claus” can preserve a child’s innocence. Allowing them the fantasy of these stories will stimulate their imagination. Imagination is the center of every child's soul. Maintaining the soul is difficult, so in one case, lying about what is real and what is not is in the hands of the child, allowing them to have the freedom of soul to take it , to believe in it and run with it. Every child is different and may react differently to discovering the truth. One reaction may be loss of trust in parents or feeling betrayed, and the other may be excitement at finally being "in the know." I will first talk about the positive effects of spreading the story of fictional characters. Imagination, as noted above, can be stimulated while retaining the fictional world of fictional characters. Each child can invent different stories while retaining the information they have been given. The great thing is that the child can believe what he wants to believe. So even if parents decide to tell their children about the Easter Bunny or the Sandman, it's up to the child to decide whether it's real or not. It can even be a life lesson for them. They need to learn from someone they know and love that the world isn't all rainbows and butterflies, but that not everyone tells the truth. This is an affectionate way of saying: "...... in the middle of a paper ...... ze the child, then the parents tell the child that the tooth fairy will come and replace her with something that will console him so that he does not fear the loss of the tooth, rather they welcome him with open arms. Things can really scare them. Making up the story of the Tooth Fairy to relieve children of their fears is one of the lies that is probably the best idea. -parents-who-lie-to-their-children-about-fictional-characters-like-Santa-Claus-the-Easter-Bunny-and-the-Tooth-Fairy http: //www.boston.com/community/moms/blogs/child_caring/2009/09/do_you_lie_to_your_kids.html http://www.naturalchild.org/jan_hunt/santa.html http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/ 2012/12/05/santa-claus-innocent-fantasy-or-harmful-lie-2/ http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052748703344704574610002061841322
