What age, did your children stop believing in "SANTA"

My daughter found out in Kindergarden. She come home from school one day in tears. I just told her that moms and dads have to keeps kids happy, so * Santa pretending* is a sometimes good way of keeping a child happy. She accepted it rather easy. I did tell her not to tell her other friends, it might hurt the mommies and daddies fun. It is much easier for you to let her find out on her own, rather than trying to sit her down and explain it.

My kids were around 10 or 11 when the were coming on to the Santa thing. But, I still give them gifts from Santa. When my kids became curious I told them that there once was a real Santa and how he would deliver toys to the children of the villages. To keep the spirit alive, his many helpers now carry on the tradition. Although Santa is unable to fulfill all of the requests, he tries to do his best. My daughter was devistated when she found out that there was no Santa. She hid her request for a new bicycle. Even if she had requested it, there was no way to afford it. She recently told her 6-year old son that there was no Santa, Easter Bunny, or Tooth Fairy. She did it in anger which was entirely uncalled for. I am trying now to soothe the hurt she caused him. Young children have a vivid imagination and telling them too soon will cause them dispair.

My daughter is 9 and still believes. I'm not really in a hurry to tell her either. A lot of girls her age are in a big hurry to grow up, but not her. She is happy to be a little kid forever (at least so far). As long as she is happy believing it can go on for awhile longer. I think it's only a matter of time until she hears about it a school, but we will deal with it when the time comes. After all you are only a kid once :)My son also still believes, but he is 6.

From my daughter I had to tell her the truth when she was 10. Since she was the oldest it was easiest to keep the belief longest. For my first son he was 7 I had to tell him last year when he was asking me so much I had to say the truth so he would stop asking in front of his little brother. My youngest still believes in Santa but he is 6. I figure this year or next year and then it is over. I hate to see that spirit of Santa go away. So I tell them that they are Santa;s helpers now and we try to make it special.

Santa is one of the inventions that catholics did that poison the minds of kids and fooled parents. After we change religion, my children did also learned the truth that there is no such person called santa in the bible.
