Halloween Safety Tips

How to protect and prepare your children for Halloween without making them afraid to have fun

Halloween Safety
    

  • Discuss Halloween safety tips with all of your children, no matter what age they are.
    • 

  • Empower your kids by teaching them exactly what to do instead of warning them about what could happen if they disobey. (Fear disables kids and prevents them from thinking on their feet.)
    • 

  • When you're out trick-or-treating, only visit well-lit areas and stay on porches rather than entering people's homes.
    • 

  • If they're out with other kids, attach their names and addresses inside their costumes.
    • 

  • To prevent falls and other injuries, make sure your child's costume fits properly and is no longer than her ankles. Use makeup or face paint as opposed to masks that might block her vision.
    • 

Halloween is a fun time for kids and adults alike–even toddlers can have a blast when it comes time to trick-or-treat. But, as with everything, "safety first." Here's how to keep your tiniest ghosts and goblins protected while having fun on Halloween.


1. Protect children from situations beyond their abilities.


For example, young children shouldn't be expected to navigate the streets without an adult supervising them. Ideally, children under nine should be with an adult while children over nine should be in a larger group accompanied either by older children or an adult.
