Hi! Good day to all the parents out there. I would like to share  few tips on how to keep your children safe and enjoy this coming Halloween. First and for most, parents or responsible adult should always take young children on their neighborhood rounds. Make sure that your children wear costumes  that are bright and reflective, short enough to prevent  tripping. Just purchase flame resistant costumes, wigs and accessories. It is best advisable for the children not to wear masks. You can paint your face for safer alternative. Make sure that emergency identification is secured discreetly within your child’s Halloween costumes. Let the children carry flashlights with new batteries. Check always around your home for hazards. If possible avoid using candles in pumpkins and consider using battery powered lanterns. Make sure to sort and check treats to closely examine and throw away unwrapped, spoiled or suspicious items and treats that can cause choking are given only to children of appropriate age.  I hope this tips can help the parents to keep their children safe and happy while enjoying the Halloween celebration.
