Encourage your child to share one thing they’re thankful for each day — it could be a favorite toy, a friend, or even their bedtime story. 🍂

Building gratitude early helps children grow into kind, mindful adults. 🍁

🎃 Happy Halloween from Frankfort Pediatrics!

👻 Before your little ghosts and goblins head out for trick-or-treating, here are a few Halloween safety tips.

🕯️ Costume Safety: Choose light-colored costumes or add reflective tape so your child is visible at night. Make sure costumes fit properly to avoid trips and falls. Use face paint instead of masks to keep vision clear.

🍬 Trick-or-Treating Tips: Always have an adult accompany younger children. Stay on sidewalks and cross streets at corners. Only visit well-lit homes and never enter a stranger’s house.

🧡 Candy Check: Inspect all treats before eating. Avoid homemade goodies from people you don’t know. Everything in moderation—remind kids to enjoy sweets but brush and floss afterward!

🚗 For Drivers: Be extra cautious and drive slowly - excited kids may dart into the street.

Wishing everyone a fun, safe, and spook-tacular Halloween!
