Trick or Treating Safety Tips
Wednesday, October 22, 2008
We know every year you read or hear the same old Halloween safety tips, but they definitely bear repeating. Make sure to remind your older children of these rules suggested by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons to keep them safe. - When trick-or-treating, children should stay in familiar neighborhoods and be accompanied by an adult at all times.
- Children must walk on sidewalks and never cut across yards or driveways.
- They should also obey all traffic signals and remain in designated crosswalks when crossing the street.
- Trick-or-treaters should only approach houses that are well lit.
- Both children and parents should carry flashlights to see and be seen.
- Consider skipping the door-to-door trick-or-treating and attend a neighborhood Halloween party instead.
- Examine all treats for tampering or other unsafe conditions before allowing the children to eat them.
