Happy Halloween from everyone at Apple a Day Pediatrics! 🎃
We love this spooky season! As experienced pediatricians (and parents to 8 kids between us!) , we are committed to helping your kids get well and stay well, especially on a night filled with fun and treats.
You already know the safety basics (check candy, use the buddy system), but here are 3 safety tips you might not have thought of:
Fuel Up First. A hungry trick-or-treater is more likely to snack while walking (a choking hazard!) or have a major sugar crash before the night is over. Have a healthy, filling dinner before you head out to make the candy a true "treat" for later.
Focus on Footwear and Fit. We all check masks for visibility, but don't forget the rest of the costume! Long robes, capes, or pants are major tripping hazards on dark sidewalks and stairs. Make sure costumes are hemmed appropriately and that shoes are comfortable and sturdy.
"Glow Up" the Accessories. If your child insists on a dark costume (like a ninja or vampire), don't fight it! Instead, use reflective tape on their candy bucket, the backs of their shoes, and key spots on their costume. It’s an easy way to make them highly visible to cars without ruining the "look."
Have a safe and spooky night! We love getting to know you and your children and are always here to help.
