[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 299459, member: 6546"] O that's a tough one!! I can tell you that my difficult child at age 14 still fervently believes in the easter bunny AND Santa--but has figured out that the Tooth Fairy is her parents. She does have 'magical thinking'....and no amount of rational explanation will change that. So maybe it doesn't matter whether you tell him or not? If he's like most kids, he will evetually figure it out on his own...and if he has "magical thinking" then--well, ??? by the way--you can reassure him that dragons ARE real. (I'm not sure which documentary he saw, but there have been specials explaining the dragon stories.) In this country, we know know them as "dinosaurs", but in other countries they refer to the same beasts as 'dragons'. When you travel you China and purchase 'dragon' potions, they are actually made from dinosaur fossils. Pretty cool, huh? --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
