Make your
child eat dinner before going out.
Children should carry quarters so they can call home.
Ideally, young children of any age should be accompanied by an
adult.
If your children go on their own, be sure they wear a watch,
preferably one that can be read in the dark.
If you buy a costume, look for one made of flame-retardant material.
Older children should know where to reach you and when to be home.
You should know where they're going.
Although tampering is rare, tell children to bring the candy home to
be inspected before consuming anything.
Look at the wrapping carefully and toss out anything that looks
suspect.

Make sure
your yard is clear of such things as ladders, kids toys, hoses, dog
leashes and flower pots that can trip the young ones.
Pets get frightened on Halloween. Put them somewhere safe to
protect them from cars or inadvertently biting a trick-or-treater.
Battery powered jack o'lantern candles are preferable instead of a
real flame.
If you do use candles, place the pumpkin well away from where
trick-or-treaters will be walking or standing.
Make sure paper or cloth yard decorations won't be blown into a
flaming candle.
Healthy food alternatives for trick-or-treaters include packages of
low-fat crackers with cheese or peanut butter filling, single-serve
boxes of cereal, packaged fruit rolls, mini boxes of raisins and
single-serve packets of low-fat popcorn that can be micro waved later.
Non-food treats: plastic rings, pencils, stickers, erasers, coins.
