tooth ferry????

Question

what age is the right age to tell your child that the tooth ferry doesn't exist?

simple spelling error, sorry. LOL enough with the jokes please.

Answer 1

I have never actually sat them down and told them, but when they asked I was honest, they normally ask about 7 or 8, they were a little older with Santa.
Dont rush it, they grow up too quickly as it is, enjoy their innocence.

Answer 2

Whenever they feel they dont believe in the tooth fairy is the time. You dont want to ruin their childhood beleif when they are a child. They are only a kid. If they still do at around the age of 11 and seriously do thats when you should tell or get some help.

Answer 3

I think most children can figure it out by the time they are at least 10. I think I figured it out when I was around 7 or 8. I never really believed any of the other tales like the easter bunny or santa, but I actually did believe in the tooth fairy. I'd let your child believe it for as long as they want, it's kind of fun for them to think that it's true. Like I said, they'll figure it out eventually!

Answer 4

I have a 17 year old and I have never told him outright that she doesn't exist. And when he's 24 + and has to get his wisdom teeth pulled I'll bet you I'll still find the tooth in his tooth pillow (this is a small 11"x8" pillow with a tooth shaped pocket sewn on the side for the tooth so that the tooth fairy can get it easier instead of fishing around all over the bed)

i have 5 kids who all have never had any of the illusions and magic destroyed by me...

Answer 5

Explain that these are “traditions” that are passed on from adults to children, from generation to generation. Often, when children grow up and become adults, they decide to pass the tradition along to their children by telling and acting out the stories of those traditions.

But on the other hand one of these traditional characters realy excisted!

Santa Claus:

Saint Nicholas of Myra is the primary inspiration for the Christian figure of Santa Claus. He was a 4th century Christian bishop of Myra in Lycia, a province of the Byzantine Anatolia, now in Turkey. Nicholas was famous for his generous gifts to the poor, in particular presenting the three impoverished daughters of a pious Christian with dowries so that they would not have to become prostitutes. He was very religious from an early age and devoted his life entirely to Christianity.

Answer 6

i won't be able to say i've got ever reserved a value ticket for the the the teeth Ferry, yet i will think of it does not be that lots exciting of a experience. i think the teeth are buoyant, yet I doubt a vessel created from the teeth (much less a ferry) may well be extraordinarily solid. this is definitely regardless of whether or not they presented me Monopoly money or not.

Answer 7

When they're not losing their teeth any more, that's the best time to tell your child that there's no such thing as the tooth fairy. If they find out from a friend in the mean time and they ask you then tell them the truth.

Answer 8

You mean the tooth Fairy? When the child starts to think it doesnt exist is the best time to admit it. It depends on the child though, my son was 7 when he asked me about it.

Answer 9

my eight year old lost her tooth just the other day. at nite i was sure she was asleep. so i went in there and stuck a dollar under her pillow. she did not move so i was sure all was good. on my way out i turned off her tv set.
the next day she says that the tooth fairy for some reason turned off my tv when she left. i just said well that was nice of her. i mean you were a sleep. and just left it at that.
my husband the nite before was saying she has goto know. she just wants are money. :) i think that she wants me to know that she knows she just has not come out and said it yet. and i doubt i will too.

Answer 10
