[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't Super Fudge geared towards, like, 2nd and 3rd graders?  So 8 year old kids?  If your kid still believes in Santa at age 8 you have some problems. [/quote]

Someone posted this on the other thread, but IME it is accurate:

Almost all kindergartners and first graders still believe in Santa.

Most 2nd graders believe.

Some 3rd graders are skeptical.

Most 4th graders doubt Santa, but will hedge their bets just in case.[/quote]

[b]Maybe times have changed[/b], I didn't believe in Santa in first grade and I remember specifically kids teasing another classmate for still believing.  We were all, most likely, 7 years old.  I pretended to believe because it was fun to do, but I knew Santa was clearly just my mom and dad.  So did everyone else for the most part. [/quote]

Yes, actually, there are many differences between my childhood and my kids' childhood.  Do you have kids?  How old are they?[/quote]

They are 3 and 9 months.  Yes, there are many differences in many things.  Cognitive development rates of children have remained somewhat static, though. Including ability to think critically about things like Santa starting around the age that magical thinking goes away.... early elementary school.  [/quote]
