Happy Halloween. Today I am sharing a few ideas on how to have a healthy and happy Halloween.
Have a plan--where to go, when to go, with whom to go, etc. Teach kids your rules for trick or treating.
Costumes--be sure they aren't so long that the person wearing it will trip, or other dangling things that can cause tripping, if wearing masks, be sure can see and breath with it on. Dress for the weather
Visibility: use flashlights, glow sticks, reflective tape to see and be seen
Children: give and practice instructions on what to do if separated or if there is an emergency; parents sort through goodies before allowing children access--check for unwrapped goodies, obvious tampering, choking hazards for young children, etc., remember to brush teeth after eating goodies, pay attention to child’s anxiety levels, tiredness, etc.--don’t overtax them.
Don't go trick or treating alone.
Parents stay with children.
Courtesy: Be courteous to other families and children trick or treating. Don't push, shove, name call, etc. Be patient and wait turn. Don't be picky--be thankful for what getting--say "Thank You" often. Also, don't trample landscaping, use sidewalks & walkways. Be kind to those who have chosen not to participate in Halloween.
Have a fun and safe Halloween.
