10 Trick or Treat Safety Tips:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Go During Safe Trick Or Treat Times<\/strong>
    \nYou don\u2019t have to wait until it is pitch-black outside to go trick-or-treating. A good trick or treat time is right after an early dinner and just before dusk when you can keep better track of your children and you are able to see the others that you encounter on the street. Besides, if you are the first person there, you will have the best selection of candy!<\/li>\n
  2. Steer Clear Of Masks<\/strong>
    \nWhile masks are a fun part of many costumes, do your best to recreate the mask with face paint. Having a mask on can sometimes impair the vision of the child wearing it.<\/li>\n
  3. Be Visible<\/strong>
    \nIf your kids will comply, choose costumes that are brightly colored so that they are easier to see in the dark. If they really want a dark costume, apply some reflective strips to their costume. You could also have them wear glow necklaces or carry glow sticks and flashlights.<\/li>\n
  4. Never Go Alone<\/strong>
    \nIt is important that your children have an adult chaperon at all times while trick or treating. You should also discreetly add some emergency identification information such as the child\u2019s name, address & phone number to their costume or on a bracelet in case your child happens to get separated from the group.<\/li>\n
  5. Walking Tips<\/strong>
    \nBe sure that your children understand simple traffic rules, such as stopping and looking both ways before crossing the street, and staying in a crosswalk if one is available. If you have to cross at a light, make sure you have the proper \u201cwalk\u201d signal before you proceed. Inform your children that they should never assume that they have the right away when crossing the street, especially at night on Halloween.<\/li>\n
  6. Knock On Doors That You Know<\/strong>
    \nEncourage your children to only trick-or-treat at homes where they know the inhabitants. If they know everyone on the street, except for one house, they could ask the neighbors about that one house. If a home is dark or has no Halloween decorations, that is typically a good sign that they are not up for trick-or-treaters.<\/li>\n
  7. Don\u2019t Go Inside<\/strong>
    \nTrick-or-treaters always seem to run across a house or two where someone invites them to \u201ccome in\u201d. Remind your little ones that they should never go inside anybody\u2019s home while trick-or-treating. They can easily get the candy they seek from the porch or if the homeowner is persistent, inform them to simply turn and walk away.<\/li>\n
  8. Stay On Track<\/strong>
    \nIt might be tempting to take a short cut through an alley or cut through someone\u2019s yard, but that can sometimes pose a danger. Stay on streets and in neighborhoods that are well lit and where there are plenty of people around.<\/li>\n
  9. Say No!<\/strong>
    \nIf you\u2019re children are old enough to trick or treat in a group without you, be sure and designate a time for their return. Teach your children that if a stranger offers to give them a ride or take them to a Halloween Party, they should say \u201cno\u201d.<\/li>\n
  10. Taste-Testing Patience \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Trick\u00a0or treating is for gathering candy, not eating it as they receive it. Pack a goody bag with some of your own Halloween candy so your kids have something to snack on if they just can\u2019t wait until they get home.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
