At what age do children usually stop believing in the easter bunny, santa etc.?

Answers:
Usually around age 7, somebody's friends can't keep that info to themselves anymore...

You can always tell them "If you don't believe, you don't receive..." This worked with my childrend. They're 18 and 19 and still tell everyone they believe! LOL

Other Answers:
9 years old at my house.

2nd-4th grade I stopped at 3rd grade sometimes untill 6th grade

when they become religious they upgrade their beliefs so answer is probably never

It used to depend on what age the parents chose to tell them, but with today's easy access to TV and computers, as well as other kids who are all too eager to tell others what they learned the night before, kids would find out I guess no later than 10. Whether they believe after that or not is entirely up to the child.

Mine was 10

when i was in fourth grade we told one of the other kids that the easter bunny wasn't real. he cried and screamed that it wasn't true. pretty funny but i'm mean

They should not been lied to. Regardless of how nice the story or the custom goes... they should be advised that is only that: a custom, that it is made to give, to enjoy, to share, to celebrate and nothing else.

4-6 yrs old. How I wish they don't stop believing these until much older! They are missing a lot of fun.

I would say about from 7-10. Depends on how long the parents want to keep up the charade I guess. I am sure at some point, the child's peers will tell them, and all you can do is help your child transition his/her beliefs into something that is not traumatic, or bogus. :)

like 8 or 9

my kids are both 6 and 8 and they already know that mom and dad gets their presents. my daughter won't even go near Santa clause and my son thinks the Easter bunny is just some guy in a costume. we never told them that Santa or the Easter bunny wasn't real. i think they might of gotten that from someone else.

When some dummy spills the beans. Anywhere from 4 to 6, some refuse to accept until 8 or 9. Me I can still Remember: I already knew, but refused to accept. Grandma was talking in her kitchen on Christmass Eve. She paid no attention to me until she saw my face. Tried to cover up, but it was time for me to grow up a notch. Manty times 6the children will ask or let you know they don't believe.
Do you knoe how many hardboiled eggs I had to eat that were left out for the Easter Bunny. Couldn't wait for them to grow up, but would not have missed it for the world, now I miss the action. never worry if yours are behind the other kids. If there is something wrong thewre will always be other signs

The average child stops believing around 9 or 10
I think that it varies in each child it kind if depends on how you are raised

It's usually around 8 or 9. One of my students just came up to me today and told me that she figured out none of them were real.

I was more upset that my parents had lied to me than I was that Santa wasn't real. I had already moved on to bigger and better things by then: Danny, Donnie, Jordan, Joe, and Jon.

thats a question i was wandering about myself.. i have a 7 and 6 and 2 yr old and my 7 year old asked me the other day if santa was real and the bunny and i told him yes cause i wasnt sure what i should have said.. it may have been wrong but it makes him happier thinking he is real.

Usually by 9.

Age 7.
Me stopped believing in..
Santa=Still believe (Christmas Spirit+religious)
Toothfairy=5
Easter Bunny=8

at 10. i am now 10 i now i m not interested in it now...

10.

My daughter is 10 and she thinks it's "stupid" that some kids in her class don't believe anymore. But more personally, I was about 8.

10 but they STILL need baskets and stuff till 18..mine exspect it

Usually, when their friends tell them otherwise. Somewhere between 7-11

in USA its dropping... but from what i can tell its like 7-10. Depends on how much parents/kids from skool tell them.

I can't remember at what age I knew. But I DO remember that I knew...but never said anything for a while. I knew my mom bought all of the presents, but I never knew where she hid them and I never saw her put any out...so it was still a mystery and a lot of fun to me! One Christmas Eve when I was about eight years old I couldn't go to sleep right away so I got up to ask my mom a question about 30 minutes after I went to bed. She was already putting the gifts out and I ran back to my room and cried and cried! It seems so silly, now. By then I had known my mom was Santa for a while, but just "seeing" it made the magic go away.

When my daughter was born, I struggled with telling her the "lie." We're a Christian family and I wanted her to know the real reason for Christmas...but with it being so commercialized...how can you tell a 3 year old there isn't a Santa when every show during the holidays depicts him? So we went along with it while strongly teaching of Jesus' birth and telling the Christan history of St. Nicholaus.

When she was in kindergarten (age 5) she was smart enough to realize that Santa couldn't be at all of the malls in town at once, so she "figured out" on her own that the santas in the malls were really just elves helping Santa out. When she was in 2nd grade (age 7) she heard at school that he wasn't real. I don't know her reaction at school, but her reaction at home was cool and calm. She knows that I know...that she knows...he isn't real. But I won't admit it. Another answerer said "if you don't believe, you don't receive." I think that's cute. So, that's kind of where we are in our household at the moment.

About a month after the Santa realization...along came the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. She knows...but it's fun to play!

What? There is NO Santa or Easter Bunny or Tooth Fairy?
Just kidding. Let it be up to your kids. Tell them when you think they're ready. My Dad told me that our dog's got the Easter Bunny when I was about 5 yrs. old. We lived in rural area so the dog's did get animals now and then. I woke up and can remember the dog's chewing on a dead animal and fur everywhere. Was very devistating for a 5 yr. old who believed!!!

You mean Santa's not real? You've crushed me!

around 7 or 8

My 9 year old dosen't believe but, she pretends to for her younger brother. He is 7 and will find out soon, but I think it is very sweet of her to play along for him.

When you tell them. My parents told me when I was only 5 because they knew that some kid would tell me, I would get upset, or get into a fight, or they would tease me. And she was right! 1 year later the same thing happened only I knew the truth so none of that happened.

WHAT?!? SANTA AND THE EASTER BUNNY AREN'T REAL?!?!?
