E-mailing the tooth fairy?

Hello Aunty, can you ask him to put in a good word for me with the tooth fairy please? Personally my answer won't go down to well I'm sure but as the tooth fairy is actually imaginary but the idea is scaring your grandson then he should just be told the truth right off. I always presumed that children just go along with these ideas to humour their parents anyway but he needs to know there is no such thing as the tooth fairy, it's all made up. I can't remember actually ever believing in anything like that, including santa, but I always had a very questioning streak even from a young age and the idea of fairies just didn't seem very realistic. My own son has inherited my cynicism and the only part of it he believes is that some money will materialise under his pillow but he knows exactly where it comes from. And believe me it hasn't ruined his childhood. So I think of good injection of reality is called for, there's enough real things in the world for your grandson to be afraid of without the need to invent childhood creepies.

hi antiquelady! i hope ur grandson did not see the movie tooth fairy because it was a horror film. and i did not watch it either. but it was really funny of him telling his parents to email it. i think he just need to know that he wont get hurt and he will never know when it's there. like santa, the tooth fairy loves kids. :)

Isn't it amazing what their little minds come up with!.....My little granddaughter thinks of things like that too....what if's....they are amazing!

Oh the poor little tyke! Someone needs to send him an email pretending to be the tooth fairy and explain what she does and that's it ok and nothing to be afraid of and that's she's looking forward to seeing him sleeping like a good boy while she exchanges his tooth for a shiny new quarter...........

Children have all sorts of interesting fears. I guess they could arrange the tooth fairy to visit another part of the house!

Suggest he leaves his tooth down stairs in a special place near his mum and the tooth fairy will sort it out for him,poor little lad.The things kids worry about,if money or presents were envolved none of mine used to worry.He is a sensitive little guy isn't he ,bless him.

your grandson sounds so sweet!!my kids are now 7 and 3 years respectively and the elder one understands that these stories are all bogus and she guides the younger one too with her superior knowledge!

Poor little kid. Tell him not to worry. I have told this fairy not to come into his room and scare him. And tell him that fairies are very friendly and do not harm us at all. Provided he is a good boy and does not eat too many sweets!!!

That's pretty cute. Maybe you can just tell him that the tooth fairy is very light like a feather and he won't even hear or feel her. Maybe the tooth fairy even waves her wand to make sure he has a pleasant nights sleep.

Hi there ANTIQUELADY Aww that is kinda sweet but like you say a bit sad too. My kids can't wait for their teeth to fall out so that they can have some money!! I have to keep them away from the pliers! hahaha.

Heyya Jo! I think the idea of a strange fairy sifting under your pillow for a tooth can be a little unnerving if you think about it..lol..He's a smart one.I think I would try to set up someting through the postal service..lol...have fun with him...hehe

I think it is cute too,but he's been scared somehow by somebody that the tooth fairy is bad. Try to console him and tell him the tooth fairy is like Santa Clause and he or she is good and not bad like we see monsters on TV. He'll be fine, just needs some extra support.

That is soooo cute. I'd tell him that the tooth fairy just knows when he'll lose his teeth. It's one of her magic abilities and her well kept secrets. I'd say, just put the tooth at his bed side and in the morning, he'll have some money next to him.

Hello,your grandson is very cute, and his views were very native, but full of fantasy.

We push our kids so hard about being safe,stranger danger, I think it is kind of sad. Might be easier on the parents, though. Not having to sneak in to leave the quarter or whatever the tooth fairy leaves now.

yes sad tha the is scared of the tooth fairy . You could try the email thing but I have never heard of a kid doing this I got mine all excited about getting money from the tooth fairy lol

Awwww that's sad. It makes me wonder why he feels like he does. Maybe if you talk to him a little more, you might find out. Tooth fairies leave money behind for their teeth, like a dollar or two so it'll be a good thing, not a bad thing. Maybe then he'll find the joy in having the tooth fairy come into his room. It's worth a try.

well hes pretty young to have to be told the truth but you may have to. my grandkids know the truth but just pretend they dont as they put the tooth under their pillow anyway, then complain if they know someone that got more or hold onto it till friday then tell their mom for when she gets paid. thats really ingeniuos of your grandson. they learn so much so young through internet these days

It's funny and we all know that kids say the darnest things. Email the tooth fairy... heehe very creative and original I have to say. I can't help but chuckle on that. Kinda cute too. On the other hand a kid has a lot of imagination. That all depends on how you want it to come out sooner or later. It's like he doesn't know the difference from a tooth fairy and the bogeyman. Have you tried talking to him and giving him some confidence that a tooth fairy is someone that we shouldn't be afraid of? That stories of fairies are something on the nicer side of life? Like good old santa isn't really gonna bite or something. I think it's just a matter of talking to him to give him some good guidance about nice stories and all that. I was a kid once and I always loved to sit down and listen to good stories from my grannies. That usually keeps me feel safe talking to my grannies. At a young age I always thought that my grannies knew everything and were the best in handling things and as a matter of fact I still do. I still believe my grannies know more alot about the world than anyone else. Cheers!

my daugher was scared of santa clause for some reason and it is sad he is afraid of the tooth fariy maybe they can let the tooth fariy come before he goes to bed or leave it with Tj or his Mom
