the
bunny
tale having an imagination is a wonderful thing. from imaginary friends to creative play, it?s always exciting to see what our children will come up with next. however, some parents choose to avoid the easter
bunny tale. they would much rather their children know the truth early on than believe the story of the easter bunny?s visits. we wanted to know if the little bunnies in our community still believed, and if they didn't, what age
did their parents tell them the truth. here?s what they had to say. i want my daughter to be proud of what i do. i want her to brag about me to her friends.? ?mindy kaling in every issue l agniappe believe in being truthful, so if/when she asks questions, we discuss her curiosities and try to answer in the best way that doesn't also ruin the magic.? ?danielle t. ?he is nine and still believes, although, he is starting to ask questions. we will probably tell him after this year.? ?jared s. ?maybe age eight. it depends because most kids will ask, and that's when you stop taking the mall pics and getting easter baskets.? ?kenya h. ?i?m not sure on an exact age, but i want her to believe forever. i guess once she starts asking questions.? ?micah b. ?at age two.? ?shannon k. ?at age 10 or 11.? ?angela w. ?when he asks. he's currently 10 years old and still believes.? ?sara k. ?at age 11, when they enter middle school, if they haven?t figured it out by then.? ?victoria k. ?10ish. i think it is best to keep it a secret for a long time. it brings so much joy. i love the innocence and the ?magic? that the easter bunny, santa, and the tooth fairy bring. when i found out the truth, i still loved holidays, but they weren?t as much fun.? ?liz g. ?around age seven or eight is when children enter the concrete stage of reasoning, so that's probably when i will spill the jelly beans.? ?cecilia w. ?i'll tell her when the time is right, based on her needs.? ?jannean d. ?wait until they figure it out, or age 12.? ?jacqueline r. ?every child is different, therefore, i believe it is more important to focus on the child's personality rather than age. my daughter is very playful and finds joy in playing ?pretend? or ?imaginary? things. we try to make every event, like easter, special for her and want her to have these childhood moments for as long as she can. we also ? what age should you tell them the truth? 10% no 75% yes 15% no bunny does your child still believe in the easter bunny? 1 4 b r p a r e n t s . c o m | a p r i l 2 0 1 9
