E-mailing the tooth fairy?  

I agree w/you. I haven't seen him since i heard this story in fact i wasn't told about it my son put it on facebook. He has always been afraid of things & i don't like for him to be that way. He can be & is all boy but at times i see this in him & it worries me. They treat him too much as an adult i think sometimes.

I don't see that telling him about fairies is treating him like an adult but I don't know why parents do tell them all these made up things in the first place. If the child believes in any of that then he's only going to be disappointed when he finds out the truth and wonders why his parents lied to him when they are meant to be the ones teaching him never to tell lies.
I asked my own son for his opinion on this after responding earlier and he just laughed at the idea of anyone believing in this kind of stuff, chip off the old block I'd say.
If you're son has got time to put things up about your son on an internet site why can't he phone or email you to keep in touch? It must be horrible to find out things about your grandson on the internet Aunty.

I didn't mean telling him about the fairy was treating like an adult but talking about other things that they do. his mom is sort of a scary person about things & i think it has rubbed off on him. She wouldn't scare him intentionally at all. They just pick up & sense things sometimes that they don't need to & i think u need to be careful what u say in front of small children. That is a very good point, niece is why i found out about this on fb.

I think they get scared when things aren't explained to them properly and they only get half an idea. I really didn't want my own fear of the dentist to rub off on my son and he didn't have a problem with it all the only time he needed something doing but he absolutely refused the injection I kept suggesting which suited his dentist just fine as she never uses them anyway. Parents have to be brave about things they have irrational or real fears about so we don't pass them on.

I agree 100%. U can pass your fears on to your children if u are not careful. They pick up on everything.

Yassou Aunty, thank you so much for adding a bit of cheer with the best response.

I hate the little thing is worrying about it & he hasn't even lost a tooth yet.

Thank u, of course i think he is sweet.I just hate that he's worrying about the fairy coming into his room. Small children shouldn't have worries like that.

U are probably right. T hey treat him too much like an adult in some ways but his mom babies him to.Yes, he still believes in santa & that's another blow for them when they find out there is not one. He can be too sensitive for his age but a tough little boy to. I just don't want to see him hurt over anything altho i know he will be.

Thanks for your response. iI haven't got to talk to him yet about it.

I feel the same way , shirley. OF COURSE we'd like to keep all fears away from them but we know we can't. I think the older kids at his daycare tell him a bunch of crap because he has told me things they have said to him before. His dad trys to make him tough & he is in alot of ways but his mom babies him. sHE IS ARAID OF STORMS SO NATURALLY HE IS TO. My kids looked forwadd to the tooth fairy & i'm sorry he is afraid. I'm sure some of the fear comes from the tv. It just worries me that he has this fear. thanks for responding, love u to.

Thanks for your response, Rusty. i sure am going to try to find out what is going on. Have a great day.

Thanks for your response, Sunny. i think he should be told the truth to. I don't know why it has even been grought up to him & he hasn't even lost a tooth. Older kids, tv whatever is not good sometimes.

Thanks so much. I just hope he will get over his fear, bless his heart. Have a great day.

You are most welcome! Thanks for sharing.

Your story made me smile. Your grandson sounds like a wonderful little boy.
Blessings to you and your family. I hope he gets over his fear soon.

How nice u are. Of course i think he's wonderful. Thanks for all the kind words. Have a happy day & blessings to u & your family.

He had been frightened of alot of things. i blame his mom & big kids at his day care. He takes everything to heart. he's a sweetheart.

Why would his mom want to scare him about the tooth fairy?
I can see bigger kids scaring him, but mom?
I know he's a sweetheart, but part of being a kid is the tooth fairy. Like santa clause.
Guess it's up to you to fix what others have made bad for this boy.
You go girl !

i'm not saying his mom scared him of the fairy but know he has had fears of things before. i don't think his mom would scare him intentionally over anything but i do think they need to treat him more as a child instead of an adult like they do.

I understand that. Seems even my step granddaughters have been treated like adults for many years.
My grandsons have too in a lot of ways. They were only allowed to believe in Santa but not very long.
I think parents get busy and expect their kids to act more grown up then they are.
I hope Ryan comes out of this and he starts looking for the tooth fairy.
I know when I was home my youngest, now 6 pulled or daddy pulled his first tooth and he could hardly wait for the tooth fairy:)
He wanted $20 tho ??? my son laughed and said, be proud of the dollar the fairy left you LOL
So, hang in there and when you have time alone with Ryan help him understand.

Thank Quita, I do want to talk to ryan. We have some pretty deep discussions sometimes anyway, lol. boy, the price has gone up according to your grandson, lol.

I know you and Ryan are on your own wave length !
My grandson is spoiled ! The tooth fairy brought Mike a quarter at the most depending on what I had at the time.
I hope they didn't give him what he thought he deserved for pulling a tooth.
Besides, Mike pulled it !!
