With Halloween coming up, here are some safety tips for parents taking little ones trick or treating. Parents should check costumes for safety — be sure that they fit well and will not cause children to trip. Consider adding reflective tape to costumes, shoes, or trick or treat bags to make your children easier to see in the dark. Avoid sharp, long, or otherwise dangerous costume accessories like swords and canes. Also, check candy before children consume it.
