Take Safety Home: Trick-or-Treat Safety
Halloween night is fast approaching but before you send your children out to go Trick-or-Treating, please remember a few safety tips that will help to keep your family safe:
- Check your town’s curfew times so your child can get as much trick-or-treating in as they want.
- Young children should always be accompanied by an adult.
- Older children should always trick-or-treat with friends, never alone. Plan a safe route for them to trick-or-treat, set a time for their return, and make sure they have a cell phone with them in the case of an emergency.
- Teach your children to stay in populated areas that are well lit and remind them to never go into the home of a stranger.
- Give your child a flashlight, glow stick or fasten reflective tape to their costume or bag to help make them more visible to drivers on the road.
- Remind your children to never walk too close to lit candles or luminaries and be sure they wear flame-resistant costumes.
- Avoid costumes that drag on the ground and are a tripping hazard to your child. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure that they can see clearly and their vision is not hindered. Make sure the shoes they are wearing are comfortable; sometimes princess shoes, large boots, or other types of shoes that are shown with costumes are cute, but definitely not practical.
- Most importantly, your children should not eat any treats until they bring them home and parents have a chance to examine them.
Wishing everyone a happy, safe, and fun Halloween!
