Ghosts and goblins will be out and about once again this Halloween…
… in Connecticut and throughout the country. We all should take a moment to think about precautions to make this a safe and fun night for our kids and grownups alike.
- If you’re driving watch for children walking on the street. Be especially careful around parked cars, kids could come out between cars.
- Give your kids flashlights with fresh batteries or at least glow sticks so that they can be seen.
- Use brightly colored costumes for your kids if possible. If your child has a dark colored costume put reflective tape strips on the back and shoes.
- Plan to take kids to familiar neighborhoods.
- Make sure your kids know your cell phone number so they can call you in case you get separated. Or you might even loan them a mobile phone so you can be easily reached.
- Don’t let little kids go out trick or treating alone, always accompany them. Older kids should go out in groups and stay together.
- Teach your kids not to eat any candy or other treats until they come back home and you had a chance to check out the loot.
- Avoid homemade treats unless you know the person who made them well.
