Kids and believing
Dd still believes in Santa, etc. she's only 6 so I'd like to keep it that way!
Over the past year or so she does ask about princesses. We went to Disney a few years ago and she truly believed they were all real at the time. But she has started questioning. Like is Elsa real? Does she really have ice powers. I have kind of just gone with that they are.
The other night she was asking me again if they were real and said that some kids have been saying they aren't and even the teachers have said it (what the hell?!). I asked her what she thought and she said she thinks they are real. I told her it was fine for her to believe that and some people can believe different things and that's ok.
Ugh!! I don't really care if she "believes" in princesses. Although if rather keep that belief longer. And I feel like its a slippery slope! Once she stops believing in this I feel like it's pretty easy to start questioning other stuff. I'm not ready for that.
Has this come up with your kid? How do you handle it? I feel bad straight up lying! Which is why I turned it back on her and what she believes. But I also worry that if kids are saying they aren't real it may turn into them making fun of her at some point if she believes.
