It's coming to that time of year again where ghosts and gouls are out on the prowl, hunting for all the sweets and treats they can get their hands on. That's right, halloween is right around the coner; so make sure you're stocked up to feed the visitors!
Apart from the obvious considerations for Halloween
like what your child is dressing up as or how to do some make-up that would
rival The Joker; parents need to consider the more serious side of Halloween
and what health risks tag along with the 31st day of October.
If you’re not up for going out Trick or
Treating - we know it can be quite daunting walking around in the cold at night
- why not see what Halloween events are on in your local area?
Some may be adamant that Trick or
Treating is a must on Halloween, and ‘parents aren’t allowed’. So if this is
your story, then curfew the Trick or Treating times so your child knows when
they are allowed out and what time they have to be back by. Indirectly, you’re
still in control this way.
If your child is okay with parent’s tagging along – hey, you might want to join in the dress up too – chaperoning children is a brilliant way to avoid trouble on the 31st of October. This way both you and your child can have some fun!
