When your child or grandchild receives that personalized letter, the excitement will be almost uncontrollable. There is something about getting mail for these kids at the ages of 6, 7, or 8.
When they open the mailbox and find an envelope with their name on it, you will hear shouts of joy. It does not matter if it is a boy or a girl, it is very exciting to realize that a letter has been sent to them directly.
Even as adults, we enjoy receiving the occasional letter. How much more exciting: something that shares the passage of time as a child grows, is welcomed by children of any age. The moment a child loses that first ‘baby tooth’ is traumatic for him because it is an immediate visible change: everyone who sees the child realizes that the tooth is gone.
Added to this is the observed difference in speech patterns. A child who has never had a problem pronouncing words with the sound of the ‘s’ may find himself dealing with an obvious lisp overnight. For adults, this is just how it works. When the upper front tooth is lost, there are problems pronouncing some sounds. But for the child, he may feel self-conscious and withdraw a bit. The letters of the tooth fairy make it easier for children to carry.
To alleviate some of the stress a child may experience, it is important to portray the loss as something positive. The letters of the tooth fairy can help in this regard. By ordering a letter from the tooth fairy and receiving it in the mail to your child or grandchild, you have introduced your child to something that puts tooth loss in a positive light.
The tooth fairy letters are a wonderful way to cheer up children.
