Should Parents Lie About Santa and the Tooth Fairy?

For many families, childhood magic comes wrapped in stories about Santa, the Tooth Fairy and little traditions passed down for generations. But as children get older and start asking harder questions, many parents begin wondering where imagination ends and honesty begins. Some believe these playful myths create wonder, excitement and treasured memories, while others worry about trust and disappointment later on. The debate is far more emotional and complicated than it first seems. And once your child starts questioning the magic, the conversation can become surprisingly tricky.
