Tips from 24 Protect Plus to Keep Your Kids Safe
Halloween
Halloween is a great time — kids and adults alike can have a lot of fun
But kids tend to get over-excited and throw caution to the wind This happens especially during trick-or-treating,
when adults may not be around
24 Protect Plus offers some great tips to keep your child out of harm’s way this Halloween
Safety Tips to Keep Your Kids Safe This Halloween
from 24 Protect Plus
Adult Supervision
Adult supervision is a must at all times
Don’t let your kids go trick-or-treating alone — even if it’s just around the block or in your building If you can’t go, plan to have some adult supervision by
conferring with the parents of your children’s friends
Some of your neighbors may be having a party, and there’s no way of knowing what kind of crowd they’ll be hosting
Make sure there’s at least one adult accompanying the kids when they go on their candy-collection mission
Plan a Route — and Stick to It
Plan a route to follow when you go trick-or-treating with a group of children Don’t just set out before thinking of the houses that
you’ll visit
Explaining the route to the older kids should be enough
For the younger ones, draw a route map, and put it in their pockets
A route plan helps keep everyone in sync and avoids children running amok in excitement
The More, the Merrier
Don’t go trick-or-treating alone
Make sure that you do so in a group Not only is it more safe, it’s also more fun
The strength in numbers can help keep your kids safer, and kids are also less likely to get into trouble
Never Enter a House
24 Protect Plus suggests that all children should be instructed to never enter someone’s house while trick-or-treating
Explain to your kids that they are to wait at the door after knocking or ringing the bell This is especially important if the house belongs to
a stranger
Check the Candy
Many people buy cheap candy to distribute to kids when they come trick-or-treating on Halloween
Perform a candy check, and get rid of any candies that don’t seem fit for consumption
There’s no need to go on a “self-tasting” mission Just throw away any candy that isn’t in its original
wrapper or that looks like it’s been meddled with
Halloween Is a Special Time for Kids, and Most Kids Look Forward to It Eagerly
