* Use reflective tape, glow sticks or flashing lights on your childs costume so that they will be easily seen in the dark.
* Ensure that costumes are not too long so that they don't trip up!
* Remind your children to stay away from open fires and candles.
* Use face paint rather than masks.
* Whenever possible, stay on side walks and cross at cross walks and remind children to look both ways before crossing the street, even at crosswalks.
* Bring along a small flash light each in case you encounter really dark areas or just need to be seen.
* If your children are old enough to trick or treat alone, have them share their route with you and encourage them to stick to that route.
* Always trick or treat in groups.
* Tell your children to NEVER enter a persons house or car, regardless of their offer of treats.
* Remind children that there is no snacking along the way, parents should inspect all treats for opened wrappers and other dangers.
