October 31st has long been one of the most cherished nights on the calendar. Kids stay awake at night dreaming about dressing up, adventuring, and eating massive piles of candy. Even adults enjoy Halloween. It has become an increasingly popular party night for all age groups. This unfortunately makes for a rather dangerous combination.

Keep Kids Supervised
The best way for mothers and fathers to keep their precious children safe on Halloween night is to keep a close eye on them. They are going to be filled with youthful exuberance when it comes time to start trick-or-treating. Your job is to keep them safe, without ruining the fun. Keep an eye on them as they approach each house. Make sure they walk closely with you as you go from home to home. Take extra caution when crossing the street. There is always a spike in traffic on Halloween night. You children are small, and it is dark out. Keep an eye out for cars and remember you will see them before they see you.
Checking Candy
Your kids are going to want to dive in right away. Waiting even a minute or two is going to feel like an eternity. Before you let them loose on their loot, take ten or fifteen minutes to inspect their candy. Look for any pieces that appear as if they have already been opened or tampered with in any way. Always err on the side of caution. It is not worth it to eat a potentially hazardous piece of candy, even if it is a delicious Milky Way.
Remember, it’s important to stay safe out there, but it is also important to have fun! We hope everyone enjoys themselves for Halloween!
