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

🎃 Add reflective tape/stickers for visibility in the dark
🎃 Use face paint instead of masks that block vision
🎃 Provide glow sticks or flashlights
🎃 Choose the right size to prevent trips and falls
🎃 Pick sturdy, well-fitting shoes
🎃 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 Lauren’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. At Darkness to Light, we believe that safety conversations don’t have to be uncomfortable or complicated. Small, age-appropriate talk...

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

It’s also a great chance to talk about what safety looks like as kids get more independence:

👻 Respecting boundaries at parties
🍬 Feeling confident saying no
🌙 Looking out for friends and themselves
📱 Knowing who to call if they need you

Safe doesn’t mean strict, it means supported. 💙
