    yeah its pretty young to stop believing.... our nephew is 8 and a half and still believes.... i'm pretty sure i still believed until i was about 10 or 11, but maybe things were different back then... kids grow up a lot faster these days...

    personally i wouldn't be spoiling it/ending things earlier than necessary.... good luck.

    Thats a hard one, maybe she heard from someone else that he wasn't real and thats why she asked?
    Its sad when the magic is over but I can understand why you'd feel torn after promising.
    Maybe leave it and see how things go.
    My sister so didn't want to give up the belief that even after she knew she kept it up that he was and still put out milk and cookies way into the teenage years.
