Single moms have an added responsibility to ensure their childrens' safety at Halloween, especially if dad is not in the picture. Here are some general costume safety rules for your consideration:

• Costumes need to be fire retardent.
• Masks are not a good idea because children cannot see as well when wearing them.
• Costumes should not be too long, to prevent tripping.
• Children should have reflectors attached to their costumes.
