Have A Happy and Safe Halloween, here are some helpful tips:
* Set Ground Rules. If your
child will be trick-or-treating without you, establish a route with your
child and don't allow your child go door to door in an unfamiliar
neighborhood.
* Be sure to walk on the sidewalks and driveways.
When crossing a street, make sure you are crossing at the corner or in a
crosswalk.
* If possible, carry a cellular phone.
*
Make sure your child carries a flashlight, glow stick or apply reflective
tape on their costume to remain visible.
* To keep kids from
tempting to dig into their candy before you get home, feed them a meal or
snack beforehand.
* If you bring your pet along, IDs please!
Always make sure your dog or cat has proper identification.
*
Remind your child of the dangers of getting into a stranger's car at any
time. If someone stops them and asks for help or offers them candy, tell
them to scream as loud as they can and run.
* If your child has
a food allergy, be sure to carry their emergency medicines with you.
* When driving, remember that children are everywhere. Be alert and
drive slower than the speed limit in neighborhoods.
* And remember to enjoy yourself!
Have Fun
