My daughter had lost her tooth this week. And did the usual of putting her tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy to come. Which of cause the tooth fairy came with a generous £2s.
But after returning from school that day she declared that there is no tooth fairy :eek: And her friends say it is the moms & dads that put the money in.
I feel very sad. I love the innonence and belief chidren have in fantasy & magical. I was expecting this to occur at around 10 years not at the age of seven!
For me it seems modern society today just want children to grow up before their years. Making then so aware of everything at a very tender age. Childhood only comes once in a life time! Why the hurry to get through it?
