Parents of trick-or-treating
kids can get so caught up in the fun that they might forget some simple
safety ideas that could save everyone some trouble.
Below are just a few common sense tips that can help.
 Know
the route your kids will be taking if you aren't going with them.
The
best bet is to make sure that an adult is going with them. If you
can't take them, see if another parent or a teen aged sibling can
go along.
Know
what other activities a child may be attending, such as parties,
school or mall functions.
Make
sure you set a time that they should be home by. Make sure they
know how important it is for them to be home on time.
Explain
to children the difference between tricks and vandalism. Throwing
eggs at a house may seem like fun but they need to know the other
side of the coin as well, clean up and damages can ruin Halloween.
If they are caught vandalizing, make them clean up the mess they've
made.
Explain
to your kids that animal cruelty is not acceptable. Kids may know
this on their own but peer pressure can be a bad thing. Make sure
that they know that harming animals is not only morally wrong but
punishable by law and will not be tolerated.
