Make this Halloween a safe and enjoyable one for all by following these tips!<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTake extra precautions when driving on Halloween night. Many children will be out trick-or-treating. Exit your driveway slowly. Leave a few minutes earlier than you need so you won\u2019t feel rushed. Slow down, stay alert, and put away your cell phone.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIf you will be trick-or-treating, bring a flashlight or wear a headlamp to light your path. Wear glow sticks or attach reflective materials, such as reflective tape, to your costumes, bags, or snow gear to make yourself more visible to cars.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTrick-or-treat in a group and stay on the sidewalks. Teach children to cross at corners instead of mid-street, looking left, right, and left again. Watch for cars turning or backing up.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFill up on healthy food before trick-or-treating so you and your children will be less likely to over-indulge in candy. And be sure to inspect all candy for intact factory wrapping before eating. Avoid any homemade treats made by strangers.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIf you are giving out treats at your door, consider including non-food items so that children with food allergies can have a safe and fun experience. Ideas for non-food items include stickers, pencils, stamps, glow sticks, spider rings, bouncy balls, or other novelty toys.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIf you plan to carve a pumpkin, the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests letting your child draw the design with a marker, and then do the cutting yourself. Never let a small child carve a pumpkin. Consider using a flashlight or battery-operated light inside your pumpkin to reduce the risk of a fire.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","news_tags":[],"event_category":[],"news_categories":[],"class_list":["post-37103","thread-blog","type-thread-blog","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Halloween Safety Tips - Thread<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.threadalaska.org\/thread-blog\/halloween-safety-tips-2-3\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Halloween Safety Tips - Thread\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The days are getting shorter and colder, and families are busy carving pumpkins, creating costumes, and planning trick-or-treating routes.
