It marks the end of a huge era for a lot of families, which is inevitable but always sad regardless. As a parent, how do you deal with your kids&#8217; disappointment as they start to figure out the truth?<\/p>\n<p>My kids are older and mostly non-believers now, though some will never admit it. Having gone through it six times with each of my children, I\u2019ve learned a few things over the years about dealing with the sadness over Santa Claus.<\/p>\n<h6><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>How to handle the Santa talk &#8211; each child is different!<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Depending on your kid, the timing of what and when they start questioning Santa can differ greatly. Some don\u2019t question Santa for a very long time, I had that child. He\u2019s on the autism spectrum and takes things <a href=\"https:\/\/ausometraining.com\/autism-and-literal-communication\/#:~:text=Autistic%20people%20are%20direct%20communicators.%20We%20use%20language,%E2%80%9C%20I%E2%80%99ll%20collect%20you%20off%20the%20school%20bus%E2%80%9D.\">literally<\/a>. To his mind \u2013 mom says there&#8217;s a Santa, there IS a Santa. He got to the age where his peers no longer believed, and I was horrified at the thought of him trying to convince them otherwise at recess. So, I sat him down and told him the truth. His response was \u201c<em>what else are you lying to me about?\u201d<\/em> Ouch, it hurt, but it was a fair question.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to respond when your child questions Santa<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen your child starts to question the existence of Santa, it&#8217;s essential to approach the situation with care and empathy. Firstly, it&#8217;s important to listen to your child&#8217;s doubts and concerns without judgment or ridicule. Ultimately, it&#8217;s up to you as a parent to decide how to handle the situation, it may depend on their age, social situation, etc. As a parent, you know best. The key is to approach it with sensitivity and understanding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find the right time to talk to your child about Santa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The timing of talking about the existence of Santa is paramount for some kids. Timing is so important with this, and if you must ruin Christmas for a child, as I did \u2013 do it off-season! I highly suggest making it a June conversation and not a December one. That way, by the time Christmas rolls around, your child will have had enough time to digest and process the news so it won&#8217;t completely ruin their holiday season.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Make your kid an ally \u2013 so when they no longer believe in Santa they still believe in the Christmas Spirit!<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; color: var(--text-color); letter-spacing: var(--text-tracking);\"><br \/>\nBecause I have so many kids, I didn\u2019t want the biggie kids exposing an early truth to the little ones and I wanted to find a way for them to still be in on the fun. I found the best way to prevent that from happening was to turn my kid into an ally. By giving the big kids some Santa responsibilities, I made them feel like they were a part of the Christmas magic. I put them in charge of the Elf on the Shelf (which was perfect because I ALWAYS forget to move the guy, anyways), I had them wrap presents, help shop, stuff stockings, and basically take on the role of Santa\u2019s \u201chype man\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><strong>Look on the bright side<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>Watching our kids grow up more every Christmas is fun and heartbreaking all at once. We eventually shift from telling them they can\u2019t wake us up before 7 AM on Christmas morning, to forcing them out of bed at 11 AM. Things change so much, but ultimately each age is a gift that&#8217;s better than any Christmas present. Enjoy the magic while it&#8217;s there, but try and enjoy the non-believing years, too! They&#8217;re special for their own reasons.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, I find Christmas pretty easy now that I don\u2019t have a bunch of believers. I don\u2019t have to use different wrapping paper for \u201cSanta\u201d gifts and \u201cparent\u201d gifts and besides, trying to change my handwriting on gift labels was never my strong suit. Ultimately, the realization of the Santa myth is the time when kids really get to learn that Christmas is about more than presents. This new phase is the door opening for different kinds of traditions and valuable lessons, and that in itself is a beautiful thing.<\/p>\n<p>For more, read <a href=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/2019\/12\/05\/my-kids-still-believe-in-santa-and-i-love-it\/\"><em>My Kids Still Believe in Santa<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/en-US\/newsletter?utm_source=Mabelhood&amp;utm_medium=Blog+post+bottom+block&amp;utm_campaign=blog-ad\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5375 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-1024x889.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-768x667.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-1536x1334.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-2048x1779.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-175x152.jpg 175w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-450x391.jpg 450w, https:\/\/mabelslabels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Newsletter-SignUp-Block-1170x1016.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eventually, the time comes for every parent when their kids start questioning the existence of Santa Claus.
