My 6 yrs old son belive in Santa and Easter bunny,he also belive in the Tooth fairy.My son lost his first tooth sunday,so monday morning he look under his pillow to find 5 bucks under there.Thomas was so happy and was asking lots of question like why can't we see her,does she fly,how does she know when we are sleeping,it was a little bit like asking about Santa,but last yrs he didn't seem to care as much.Now he's got all those question and i don't want to lie to him....So when and how should i tell him?

If I was you, I wouldn't tell them, eventually they would find out by listening to other kids conversations, on TV or whatever, it will just happen. I believe it should be a part of a kids life to find out facts for themselves, that way they'll get experience in life and of course, when they have questions, doubts regarding anything, that's when you come up. That's just my two cents.

my youngest is 8 and still beleives in the tooth fairy and sort of believes in santa,never did the easter bunny,my older 2 stopped believing when they were bout 7yrs,,i personally wouldn't tell him,he'll find out in his own time when he's good and ready
