In this episode of the All Ears English podcast, the hosts delve into how parents approach the delicate topic of Santa Claus and other childhood myths. They examine various strategies, taking into account the child’s stage of development, the potential effects on the parent-child bond, and the broader implications of truthfulness versus nurturing wonder and family traditions. Ultimately, they propose that portraying these myths as reliant on belief—rather than flatly denying their existence—can help children enjoy the magic of the holidays while also understanding the line between fantasy and reality.
