[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid didn't lose his first tooth until he was 9. By then, he knew there was no tooth fairy but was still happy to get $ under his pillow. [/quote]

I think this is true for most kids 9 + they don't believe, but they are happy to play along for the fun and tradition of it and for the goods.[/quote]

Exactly. I left out cookies for Santa until I graduated from high school. But by around 1st grade I knew it was my mom.[/quote]

Sort f the same her. MY parents never taught us the Santa story, but we were always happy and excited about gifts and all the other Christmas time traditions, like Holiday lights in the park, decorating the tree,  baking cookings, hot chocolate and singing carols etc well into teens.  I knew they were the tooth fairy by the time I was 7, but it was still fun to play pretend and wake up with money under the pillow.

I also think children have a way of believing and not believing at the same time they have to figure out the logistics and know it's the parent behind it, but they still believe in the magic of it all, I suppose that's the wonder of childhood![/quote]
