- Make sure young children are accompanied by an adult or responsible teenager when they go door-to-door.
- If you can't accompany your children, instruct them to trick-or-treat in their own neighborhood and in well-lighted streets.
- If children are going to be out after dark, make sure they carry a flashlight. They can put the flashlight under their chin for a very scary look but most likely the light helps kids see where they are going and makes them visible to cars.
- Teach your children to use the sidewalks if they can. If there are no sidewalks, walk on the left side of the street facing cars.
- Know which friends your children will be with and which route they are taking.
- Leave your porch light on so children will know it's OK to visit your home.
- Instruct children never to eat anything until they are home and the treats have been carefully examined. Cut and wash fruit before eating. Throw away anything unwrapped. Check the wrappers of commercial treats for evidence of tampering. Call the police if there are any suspicious treats.
- Dentists say that it's better to eat all of the Halloween candy quickly, and then get back to normal eating and brushing habits rather than dragging the sugar fest on for weeks.
