Ds has always sought clarity about what is real and what is not. He used to try to open doors in books. As there is some anxiety around this I am always honest - if he asks does magic exist, I say no it doesn't. Now he's asking about Santa. I'm loathed to lie because he relies on being able to trust me when uncertain. But, I also don't want to remove any pleasure that could be had from the fantasy - or to ruin it for his 3 yr old sister (and perhaps peer group). I'm avoiding answering at the moment. Any ideas or similar experiences?
Thanks
