Time for the spooky customs and tasty treats. The darling princesses and the action packed hero's. Halloween is here and though it's great to have fun with the goons and goblin's 1stClassLadies are also parents and know the dangers as well as concerns affiliated with the scary day. Let us give you some safety tips for you and your loved ones this Halloween. This way they can enjoy themselves and you can feel comfort in letting them.
Have A Time & Plan Then Stick To It. Before even leaving the house know all the answers to any questions there may be. Where are you trick or treating, what time you will leave and return, if someone gets lost is there a meet up location. All important questions that EVERYONE traveling should know just in case.
Travel In Groups. It's alway a good idea to trick or treat in groups rather then solo because it is less of a chance one will get lost, be afraid or even worse kidnapped. Travel in groups of about five or six (bigger groups tend to have to more head count to make sure everyone is with them) and have a buddy system. It sounds old school but it is very efficient in the new school world. Never wonder off from the group alone and if you have to stop for whatever reason let the group know and your buddy should attend wherever your going with you ( don't worry this doesn't mean they have to hold your hand in the bathroom if that's your destination!)
Pick A Safe Location For Trick Or Treating. Lets faces as parents there are just some places we will not take our children in broad daylight! Some areas are just not safe and no matter how old they get we want to protect them. This Halloween make sure to pick a location that is safe when heading out for goodies with the kiddies.You will feel more at ease and less likely to want to cut trick or treating short which will make the little ones VERY happy.
Check All Candy Before Letting The Kids Eat It. It is very important to check all candy before letting the children dig in. If its open or looks like its been tampered with DON'T LET THEM HAVE IT!! If your trick or treating in areas your not familiar with be extra careful. If its candy with writing you don't understand through it away. Your child could be allergic to an ingredient in it and you won't know until its to late and he/she has a bad reaction.
Custom Originality. When picking a custom be sure not to have the same costume as to many other children. this will cause confusion when trying to keep an eye on your own. Depending on the age children should NOT wear mask if too many have the same costume. its not only a confusion problem its also a safety hazard as some young kids can hurt themselves.You want to always be able to pick your offspring out the crowd no matter how big or small.
Dress Right. Though you are suppose to wear a custom dress right! if it's cold ( as it should be since it is fall) cloths and jackets are a necessity. You don't want them to be sick because of one day! little ones should avoid too many snaps and zips as this may make it difficult when its time to use the bathroom. This rule should also apply to their costume. The younger the child the less difficult the costume should be.
Driving Safety. If driving remember to drive alittle slower as you will have people in the streets. keep your lights on so those walking are sure to see you.
Follow this guide and 1stClassLadies are sure you and yiur mini me's will be sure to enjoy this Halloween!!
