Trick-or-Treat
Filed in archive Education by Melissa Petri on October 26, 2005
For children, halloween wouldn't be complete without trick-or-treating. It's what children's fond memories are made of. Being able to play dress up, offering tricks or asking for treats. It's fun. And it should be safe.
Reports of kids being abducted or abused (even by people close to them) should warn us of the possibilities of danger. One cannot be too sure nowadays.
But, we will not lock our kids at home and bar them from enjoying this halloween. Instead, as parents, we should make sure that they are safe.
Kidshealth.org tells kids to play it safe on halloween.
The Los Angeles Fire Department has a comprehensive safetly list for Halloween. It includes tips on which kind of costumes to wear (to prevent accidents), offers alternative ideas, what responsible adults must do and what the kids should adhere to while trick-or-treating.
Parents, remember to keep your ghosts and goblins safe and make sure that the only shrieks you hear are shrieks of laughter.
