TIP OF THE WEEK

Halloween Safety — Make sure costumes are flame-retardant. Costumes should be kept short to prevent tripping. Have children wear comfortable shoes. Use make-up instead of a mask. Children should wear light colors or place reflective tape on costumes. Make costume accessories from cardboard or flexible materials. Older children should travel with friends, never alone. Set time limits for children to trick-or-treat. Tell children not to enter a stranger’s house. Have children trick-or-treat while it is still light outside. If it is dark, have them carry a flashlight. Tell children not to eat treats until they return home and you have inspected them first. Only eat candies that are unopened and in original wrappers.
