Moms Talk: The Truth About the Easter Bunny

Easter is Sunday, meaning young kids across the township will go to bed Saturday night thinking of all the candy the Easter Bunny will be bringing them as they sleep.

That brief period when children still believe in the Easter Bunny (and Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the like) truly is a magical time for parents.

Eventually, though, it comes to an end.

So, Patch asks all of you: What is the right age to tell children there's no such thing as the Easter Bunny (or Santa Claus)?

And this week, we bring a bonus question—free of charge—to those of you who have two or more children with a decent spread in age: How do you/did you keep your older non-believer from ruining the fun for your younger believer?

Editor's Note: Moms Talk is a new feature on GloucesterTownship.Patch.com that is part of a new initiative on our Patch sites to reach out to moms and families.

GloucesterTownship.Patch.com invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Gloucester Township.

Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of experts and smart moms take your questions, give advice and share solutions, utilizing the comment box below.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Moms Talk will also be the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic.

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today—and every Wednesday!—at 1 p.m. Can't make it for the 1-2 p.m. chat? Then drop a line for our Moms Council and readers to consider.
