Edited to add: if your kids don’t need this list, by all means, enjoy the night! Between us, we have 5 kids, ages 5-14. The 5-year-old needs us to go through a few steps on this list for it to be a successful night. The other four can run free and wild all night, and be just fine. All of our kids are a-okay without strict candy limits on Halloween night. But, we have one kid who needs more limits on road-trip snacks because he’s a serial roadtrip/hotel vomitter. You know your kid the best - this list is just here to provide support for families and kids who need who may need a little more structure! 🎃

Halloween can be magical — and a little chaotic. 🎃
Excited kids, itchy costumes, and endless candy can turn a fun night into a meltdown moment fast.

This checklist (from two child psychologists + moms) gives you a quick plan for keeping things fun and manageable.

✨ Set expectations early
✨ Give small choices
✨ Stay calm through the sugar crash

Save this for tomorrow — and remember, connection matters more than perfection. 💛
