Halloween
Fall is near and Halloween is coming. To be well prepared for this big sugar party is easy and simple!
1- A secure disguise:
• Avoid stumbling by wearing a short costume.
• Make-up is a good substitute for masks since those provide a limited vision which can be dangerous at night.
• Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended even if those don’t fit with the costume.
• Wearing a temperature wise costume is also a good idea.
• Prioritise a pale costume over a dark one and don’t hesitate to put fluorescent stickers on it. That way, you improve your chance of being seen.
2- Before leaving the house:
• Plan the route and approximate the time it will take to do it.
• Never let your children leave alone. An adult or some friends (for older ones) should accompany them.
• Leave a flashlight with your kids; it’s always useful in dark alleys and on the streets.
• Before you let your child go, revise with him or her some basic security rules like; do not run in the street, do not zigzag from one side to another, cross the street at the intersection.
• Always stay outside a house, never get inside.
• Don’t go in any stranger’s car.
• Tell your children to wait before they eat any candies they collected, so you can supervise their intake.
3- Parents that give candies:
• Clear of any obstacles your driveway, stairs and doorway.
• Be sure that nothing comes in contact with your candles’ fire.
• Finally, if you have to drive that night, be careful!
