Trick or Treating
should be one of the great adventures of Halloween for kids! hey can
get dressed in scary costumes and go door to door, begging "Tricks
or Treats!" from neighbors or at the local mall. It should be
a fun time, without trouble and pain, so following some easy tips
can keep your child safe every Halloween.
 Children
should go out during daylight hours only unless accompanied by a
responsible adult.
Plan
a safe route so parents know where their older kids will be at all
times. Set a time for their return home. Make sure that your child
is old enough and responsible enough to go out by themselves.
Let
your children know not to cut through back alleys and fields. Make
sure they know to stay in populated places and don't go off the
beaten track. Stay in well lighted areas.
Stop
only at familiar houses in your own neighborhood unless they are
accompanied by an adult.
Small
children should never be allowed to go out alone on Halloween. Make
sure an older sibling or adult is with them.
Instruct
your children not to eat any treats until they bring them home to
be examined by you.
Instruct
your child to never go into the home of a stranger or get into their
car.
Make
sure your child carries a flashlight, glow stick or has reflective
tape on their costume to make them more visible to cars.
Let
them know that they should stay together as a group if going out
to Trick or Treat without an adult.
