:O the math teacher did that!?!?! what an awful woman! that's not her place, that's the place of the parents. and as for what to tell your other kids, they usually figure it out on their own...just tell them that Santa is real if you believe he is real. I mean, I figured it out on my own and it wasn't really upsetting.

Firstly, the math teacher had no business addressing this issue and should be told so. Then, tell your 10 year old that, yes Santa is really Mom nd Dad, but because you love your kids so much, you want Christmas to be extra fun for them. You want your children to have surprises on Christmas. Every older sibling learns the truth before his younger siblings do. Enlist his help in keeping the "secret" until they are ready. Help him feel you trust him, let him help you with "Santa chores." Some people are so cynical about Christmas and Santa...I believe it does no harm to let young children have fun at Christmas.

I dont think that it is up to a teacher to tell the kids that. Maybe you can talk to him in private and tell him the truth but say but we have to keep him real for the other kids. Just tell him that it means extra presents from "santa" and candy in his stocking. Even though you may do that stuff anyways this is a way that you can get him to keep the secret for the other two and it might make him feel like a big kig to know the truth.

Difficult one! You don't want her to look like a fool but then you don't want the magic to end either. Just ask her what she really thinks about the whole Santa thing and she might be able to work it out for herself. Ah, bless her. I hope you have a lovely Christmas. It's not the same when they find out, this is probably our first year where the fairy tale has definitely come to an end and this year doesn't feel special at all.

i think that oncec ur child starts asking if Santa is real and starts to question this belief its the time to tell them that Santa isnt real but there is a saint who many people beleive is like Santa. Just dont lie to your kids for too long

Hah I like the telling your kid his teacher got coal as a kid...Believing in Santa is something that puts spirit into Christmas! I remeber when I realized he wasn't real, and it was the saddest Christmas ever. It's way too early for him to figure that out

i hate that when a teacher or student at school does that to a child and it takes the fun out of christmas for everyone....i would tell him that santa is what you belive , if you belive there is a santa then there is one but if you belive there is no santa then santa wont come to you anymore......that will give him something to think about...tell him the teacher dont belive in santa thats why santa dont come to her anymore .. and thats why she thinks santa is make belive.......

You must be really good at keeping the Santa secret if your 10-year-old still believed in him. :-) Good work!!

My son is 11 and he has Asperger Syndrome.He came home the other day and said his friend told him there was no Santa.I thought hmmm this is a good Way to ease into this and tell him the truth (NOT)He did not buy it at all. So i said OK i believe to,There is nothing wrong with it. He will learn on his own one day let him enjoy Christmas,Maybe if we adults still did we would be more like Children in our everyday innocence
