Happy Holloween Tips to be Safe

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
