Here are some tips to help keep your lil ghouls and goblins safe
this Halloween.
Halloween and Trick or Treat are a fun family time
of year. Ghosts, goblins, and lots and lots of sugar! What more could one ask
for? It is a fun time of year but it can also be a dangerous time if we are not
careful with our little ones. Here are a few tips to help keep your loved ones
safe this Halloween and Trick or Treat season.
1. Have your children wear reflective material on all costumes.
Flashlights and glow sticks are always a great idea.
2. Regardless of your children's age, have them travel with a
parent or another responsible adult so not to get lost or abducted.
3. Don't let your children run ahead of the group or cross the
streets without adult supervision.
4. Teach your children not to go in to any houses
without adult supervision.
5. Instruct your children not to eat any candy at all until you
have had the opportunity to inspect each piece of candy for dangerous things
like razors, needles, drugs, etc. Don't allow them to eat anything that is not
still factory wrapped.
(This
also gives you a chance to sneak some pieces for yourself)
6. Children are smarter than we sometimes give them credit for.
Instruct them about the dangers of Trick or Treating. Traffic, Strangers,
tainted treats, etc. Knowing what to look out for will keep them
safe.
Lets work together and keep our children safe this Spooky time
of year. Have a great Halloween and don't eat too much this Trick or Treat!
Have a spooky good time!
Happy Halloween!
