When your child or grandchild receives that personalized letter, the excitement will be almost uncontrollable. There’s just something about getting mail for these kids at ages 6, 7, or 8.
When they open the mailbox and find an envelope with their name on it, you’ll hear squeals of delight. It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl: realizing that a letter has been sent directly to them is very exciting.
Even as adults, we enjoy receiving the occasional letter. How much more exciting – something that shares the passage of time as a child gets older, is welcomed by children of any age. The moment a child loses that first ‘milk tooth’ is traumatic for them because it is an immediate visible change: everyone who sees the child notices that the tooth is gone.
Added to this is the observed difference in speech patterns. A child who has never had a problem enunciating words with the ‘s’ sound, may find themselves dealing with an obvious lisp overnight. For adults this is just how it works. When the upper front tooth is missing, there are problems pronouncing some sounds. But for the child, he may feel self-conscious and become a bit withdrawn. The tooth fairy letters make it easier for children to bear.
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 requesting a letter from the tooth fairy and mailing it to your child or grandchild, you have introduced the child to something that puts tooth loss in a positive light.
Tooth fairy lettering is a wonderful way to cheer up children.
