8 Tips for a Safe Halloween
- Choose a costume that is visible, comfortable, and weather-appropriate.
- Make sure your child knows their address and phone number.
- Review road safety rules together before going out.
- Set a return time and plan a way to communicate if plans change.
- Remind your child to always stay with friends or an adult—never alone.
- Explain that they should only knock on well-lit houses and never enter a home or vehicle.
- Encourage them to walk on sidewalks, avoid the road, and not run.
- Check all treats before they are eaten (packaging, allergies, hard candy).
