Halloween Safety Tips for 2021
Halloween is a fun night celebrated by all. Whether you are going door to door, attending an organized trunk or treat, or having your own Halloween celebration, there are several safety tips to keep in mind before that first piece of candy is unwrapped (or stolen by parents)!
For Organized Events:
-Make sure you have your eye on your children at all times. It is very easy for children, in their excitement, to run ahead or run out of sight.
-Meet each person handing out candy to your child. Make eye contact.
For Door-to-door:
-Costumes should not be too long a child can trip over them or too tight they cannot move or run.
-Each child/group of children should be accompanied by an adult.
-Costumes should have a reflective sticker or glow in the dark spray paint so they are easily seen at night.
-Each child/parent should have their own flashlight or glow stick.
-Parents should accompany children to door of home and make eye contact with homeowner.
-All candy should be inspected before eating. Open packages or homemade treats should be thrown away unless you know the person handing the treats out.
Tweens/Teens:
-Tweens/Teens should go in groups if not accompanied by an adult. (An adult is preferred)
-Instruct them not to go into anyone’s home for any reason (bathroom, to get more candy, to pet an animal.
-Watch out for older kids that may prey on younger kids and steal candy. Safety in numbers
-Respect homeowners – use driveways/walkways, don’t trample on grass or bushes. Do not touch decorations. Do not touch pumpkins. Watch out for lit candles and flowing costumes.
-Respect those coming after you if homeowner leaves bowl of candy on porch. Take one and leave some for next group of kids.
-Take flashlights or glow sticks.
-Please refrain from scaring younger children.
Motorists:
-Drive slowly in all neighborhoods beginning at dusk.
-Pay attention pulling out driveways and entering intersections. Children often dart between cars or run into street in excitement.
-Be aware parents will drive slowly in neighborhoods with their children so be patient.
