Halloween is almost here! Many kids are already anxious with anticipation and excitement. Parents are busy either making their costumes or shopping for them. Be sure to take a few minutes to review these Halloween Safety Tips! They may sound like common sense, but we all need reminding.
- Have a parent or older sibling go trick or treating with you, or go in a group.
- Wear a costume that makes it easy for you to walk, see and be seen.
- Trick or treat in your own neighborhood. Go only to the homes of people you know.
- Carry a flashlight so you can been easily.
- Use makeup instead of a mask or anything that obscures your vision.
- Be sure your costume is flame retardant.
- Cross only at corners. Never cross the street between parked cars or in the middle of the block.
- Stay on sidewalks and be aware of cars that may be turning or backing out of driveways.
- Don't go to homes that do not have their lights on.
- Always be polite, say thank you, even if you don't care for the treat.
- Wait until you get home to sort, check, and eat your treats; accept only candy that is wrapped or packaged. Parents or an older sibling should help sort the treats.
Lastly, my favorite idea that can be a tip that I just learned about: Teaching gratitude on Halloween!
Happy Halloween! Have fun and stay safe!
