Santa’s image can frighten young children says psychologist
New York psychologist David Elkind says three and four year olds may fear Santa more than other strangers. Parents should prepare children, explain gently, and avoid forcing visits. He notes children need fantasy and that parents should accept fear if it arises, delaying explanations until asked. He calls for more women to wear Santa disguises to ease contact with youngsters.
