Halloween is right around the corner, and our ghosts and ghouls are brimming with excitement about trick-or-treating!What are some ways you can keep your little pumpkins safe this Hallows’ Eve? Check out some safety tips below.
- Never allow your child to trick-or-treat alone. Always walk in groups and have a responsible adult with your group.
- Use reflective tape on your costumes and shoes so drivers see your children.
- Always face away from traffic. Use sidewalks when possible, or stay on the far edge of the road when sidewalks are not available.
- Only allow your children to eat packaged candy from stores. Avoid homemade goods. Inspect all your children’s candy before they eat it.
- Do not walk near decorative luminaries with an open flame. Your child’s costume could catch fire.
- Ensure your kids’ costumes are not too long to avoid tripping and that their shoes are comfortable so they don’t get blisters from walking around so much.
- Stay close to home. Try to trick-or-treat at your neighbors houses. Avoid unfamiliar neighborhoods.
- When someone opens the door for your trick-or-treaters, make sure they know to stay on the porch. Never let your child go inside someone’s house.
Have a happy and safe Halloween!
