[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think Santa is harmful to children? Do you tell your kids there’s no Santa because you want them thinking logically and rationally? [b]How do we keep our kids safe and logical when Santa keeps threatening their independent and reality based lives with presents and candy we all know he doesn’t bring?[/b] [/quote] Teaching our kids all-or-nothing thinking does not keep them safe, nor is it logical. What if your kid has an imaginary friend they created - are you going to disabuse them of that notion, because you think it won’t keep them safe or logical? Newsflash: people can be logical and rational *and also* believe in imagination and fun and make-believe, especially for kids.[/quote] Parents can tell their kids anything they want regardless of how lacking of truth it is. It’s not anyone else’s job though to play along in the make-believe land you created.[/quote]
