"Treating" &
HalloweenSafety Tips
Source: Palmetto Health
Children's Hospital
The candy aisles are stocked andthe Jack-O-Lanterns illuminat-ed, reminding us that Halloween
is just around the corner. Whilechildren eagerly plan their Hal-loween costumes, PalmettoHealth Children's Hospital offers
parents tips for a fun, but safeHalloween.
Trick-or-Treating
Make sure your child eats
dinner before setting out.Children will be less likelyto eat too much candy andwill have more energy for
the fun ahead.
An adult should accompany
children under 12 years old.Children ages 13-15 shouldtravel in groups of at least
three.
Trick-or-treat in your neigh-
borhood, where you knowthe neighbors.
Consider going during day-
light hours.
Only visit homes
with decorations, outdoorlighting and porch lights
illuminated.
Teach your child his or her
phone number. An older child
can carry a cellphone to checkin while away from home, butremind the child about thedangers of distracted walk-
ing.
Instruct children never
to enter a home or apartmentbuilding unless accompaniedby an adult.
Remind children never to
accept rides from strangers.Drivers should go slowly allevening.
Children should be educated
to obey all traffic rules.Candy
Insist that children show you
all their goodies before theysample them. Inspect candy
for tampering. Never eat fruit,unwrapped items, or candynot in its original wrapper.
A few days after Hallow-
een, put the candy out of sight
and out of mind. You canration out the treats later.
If you want to provide non-
candy alternatives for trick-or-
treaters, consider packages ofcrackers, single-serve box-es of cereal, granola bars,packaged fruit rolls, mini-boxes of raisins and single-
serve bags of chips or pop-corn.
Non-edible treats including
pencils, stickers and erasersalso are good alternatives.
Costumes
Have children wear cos-tumes with light, brightcolors that will be clearly
visible to motorists; attachreflective tape, glow sticks
or glow-in-the-dark acces-sories to increase visibilityat night.
Make sure that costumes--
including wigs, masks andbeards--are flame resistant,and remind children to stayaway from open flames,
candles and jack-o-lanterns.
Make sure that masks donot impair vision.
Avoid costumes with big,
baggy sleeves; billowingskirts; or long,dragging
hems that could causesomeone to trip. High-heelsor oversized shoes also cancause accidents.
Make sure that swords,
knives and other props aremade of flexible materialand do not have sharp edg-
es.
Attach your child's name,
phone number (includingarea code) and address in-side your child's clothing in
case the child gets separatedfrom adults.
