I think its around 9 or 10, but older kids are always telling younger kids there is no Santa,sad huh ?
I think we should let them believe as long as they want to believe.
Being a kid is a magical time, there is Santa, imaginary friends and places, laughing & playing fun fun fun...
When your all grown up its over, then its work work work, bills to pay, bad decisions, wrong choices, on & on & on...now I'm not saying being grown up is all bad, but once Childhood is gone, its gone.
Everyone wishes they could be a kid again, even if its only for a day. They will grow up soon enough, lets not rush it.

The more you pump it up, the sooner they will become unsure. Here are some questions your child may ask, and some resonses that will keep your child believing:
"Why are there Santas in all of the malls?"- Those are just Santa's helpers, and they report back to Santa.
"How do reindeer fly?"- There is some complicated science around how their bodies are made.
"How does Santa visit all houses on one night?"- He can slow time down.
"Can Santa really eat all of those cookies?"- Some of them he takes to the north pole, and he shares some with Mrs. Claus.

It actually depends on at what age the child hears an older child speak of Santa being fake. My kids are 11 and 9. My 9 year old still believes but my 11 year old is still unsure. I plan on telling him before next Christmas since he is getting older. Last night I heard my son asking his cousin who is 1 year older then he his, if Santa is real. His cousin told him no and my son said I knew it but my mom still says he is.
My son has been seeking the truth since he was 8 so I am going to say between 8 -11years old is when they start to ask questions and have mixed decisions until the parents actually let them know.

my daughter is 8...will be 9 in march and she still believes in santa claus and i hope she will for a few more years. i love ringing the bell in the middle of the night and she thinks it's santa on his sleigh. Some kids at her school try to convince her otherwise but she said they are just being mean. you are only a kid for a short while so i hope she believes for a few more years.

My sister grew to become into 7 years youthful than me, so I had an excellent time being area of the "secret" for particularly some years. We nonetheless do this, in certainty, and my sister's oldest is 31 now!

I have an 8 yr old boy and he is questioning it...I still try to hold on to him believing for at least another year. But I would say around 8 years old.
