Halloween should be fun AND safe! Before heading out, make sure your child's costume checks these safety boxes:

๐ŸŽƒ Add reflective tape/stickers for visibility in the dark
๐ŸŽƒ Use face paint instead of masks that block vision
๐ŸŽƒ Provide glow sticks or flashlights
๐ŸŽƒ Choose the right size to prevent trips and falls
๐ŸŽƒ Pick sturdy, well-fitting shoes
๐ŸŽƒ Consider dropping an airtag in their candy bucket or affixing to their costume

Every child deserves a joyful and protected Halloween! For overall safety while trick-or-treating, help your child create a Laurenโ€™s Kids P.L.A.N., visit https://bit.ly/4h6tBUP

Talk Safety with all ages. Make It a normal conversation .

October might be all about spooky stories and things that go bump in the night, but when it comes to keeping kids safe, the scariest thing we can do is stay silent.

๐ŸŽƒ Big kids need safety plans too!
Halloween is full of fun, costumes, parties, and time with friends.

Itโ€™s also a great chance to talk about what safety looks like as kids get more independence:

๐Ÿ‘ป Respecting boundaries at parties
๐Ÿฌ Feeling confident saying no
๐ŸŒ™ Looking out for friends and themselves
๐Ÿ“ฑ Knowing who to call if they need you

Safe doesnโ€™t mean strict, it means supported. ๐Ÿ’™
