A Few More Safety Tips......

I read a couple of safety tips in the paper today for your kids and halloween. The best one, and one I forgot to mention, is to tell your kids never to enter the home of a stranger. Stay outside by the doorbell. It's also a good idea to plan and discuss the route your children will take, especially if they are going off by themselves. And, of course, only go up to well lit homes to knock on the door.

The other good one was to bring all the treats home for inspection before you let them eat anything. Be wary of anything unwrapped or unusual. The old standby holds well here. When in doubt, throw it out.

How about feeding your kids a hearty snack before they go out. This way they will be less tempted to eat as they trick or treat. This works best with younger children.

Are you getting excited! Halloween is coming!
