It’s almost Halloween. I love Halloween it is such a fun holiday. I am so excited to take my son out Trick or Treating on Saturday. I love candy so I am hoping he will share his goodies with me. I just want to take some time to remind everyone of some important safety tips.
1. Please go with your children when they go Trick or Treating.
2. Go in groups especially if your child is old enough to go alone.
3. Bring a flash light with you for when it gets dark.
4. Be aware of your surroundings and the people around you, stay away from people that are acting strange or look like they want to cause trouble.
5. Bring a whistle with you. It sounds weird but it will get peoples attention in an emergency
6. Wear reflectors on your costumes and on your treat bag
7. Encourage your children to wait till you get home before they dig in to their goodies so you have a chance to look over the goodies in a well lit area. Pack a snack so if they get hungry they will have something.
8. Bring hand sanitizer with all the door bells your children will be touching to help cut down on germs.
9. Only go to those houses with a porch light on.
10. NEVER go in to a strangers home
11. Stay away from homemade treats and loose candy or loose candy in a Ziploc bag.
12. Make sure your children can see clearly and speak clearly through their costumes.
13. Watch out for cars and use sidewalks
14. If you are driving remember that kid’s dart and watch out for kids and don’t assume they see you.
15. Never get in a strangers car even if they seem nice.
16. Parents check out your state's sex offender registry and stay clear of those homes in your area. It is a great idea to know exactly where they live and work anyway.
I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!
Never, ever thought of hand sanitizer! Great idea!
