Honesty and Faith: The Importance of Truth-Telling with Children about the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus The LeadHerShip Podcast | Faith, Family, Business

- Religion & Spirituality
It might be controversial for some parents, but guiding your children toward a solid spiritual foundation is essential. Today I'm sharing my experiences telling my kids that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny aren't real. As a result, it created a positive impact on my family. It's not an easy conversation to have for most parents, especially when your children are used to the gifts that come from a mythical figure. But stripping away the lies has deepened my children's faith in God and allowed us as a family to prioritize our faith over cultural norms.
It might seem like a radical episode to you, so my advice is to wait if you haven't felt compelled to tell them and pray about it. This is not a judgment. It's just my story. But if you have a conviction to tell your children or you are feeling like you're back and forth, friend, it might just be time to rip the bandaid off and stop serving the world.
So let's dive into the importance of truth-telling and prioritizing our children's faith in today's world.
