Kids look forward to Halloween just like they look forward to Christmas. It is a night filled with sweet treats and good eats. Here are some helpful tips to keep everyone safe this Halloween!
If you have pumpkins on the porch with candles in them, make sure to set them far enough away where childrens costumes will not brush up against them.
Help your child pick a costume that does not block or limit their eyesight.
Stop at familiar houses in neighborhoods you know.
Make sure your child carries a flash light, glow stick or that they have reflective tape on their costumes to make them more visible in the dark.
If older children are going out without an adult let them know to stay together in groups and set a specific time for them to be home.
Instruct children to not to eat any treats until they get home and they are examined by an adult.
Check to see if your town is having a Street Fest or Harvest Festival. This can be much safer than Trick-or-Treating door to door.
If props are used (i.e. fake swords, knives, guns) make sure they are flexible and do not appear authentic.
Make sure children know to stay on well-lit streets and never cut across yards or alleys.
