My daughter doesn't believe in Santa either. And the other day she came home and she was like, they taught us about Santa Claus or something. And I was like, did you tell him that he's not real? And she's like, yeah, and they got mad.

Aww. Well I've told my kids, you know, don't just go telling people because other people think that he's real and you know you don't want to spoil it but just know that I'm Santa Claus and Dad's Santa Claus and that's all there is to it. He's not real. Sorry.

No, no, definitely not. I think simply telling your children or any child about Myths legends folklore or anything like that isn't toxic whatsoever. I think what's important is how you follow up with it What's the intent behind telling them? Are you just enlightening them? you know of What people around the world might have believed at one point in time or are you using it to kind of teach a lesson or lessons? That's that's what counts
