It is almost that time of year again when kids and families will hit the street for some fun and candy. We all love Halloween and we want our kids to enjoy this special holiday, just like we did when we were kids.
With this said, we adults all know how potentially dangerous Halloween can be if we do not take precautions to make sure our kids are safe. My friend and former Client Kevin Noviello and I put together a list of Halloween Safety tips. Kevin is the Owner and Instructor of American Kenpo Karate located on route 102 in Hudson, his website is www.gsamericankenpo.com .
Safety Tips:
1) Choose a costume that is fire-proof and fits properly and will allow you to see where you are going.
2) If you're costume includes prop, make sure that the ends are smooth and flexible enough to not cause an injury to yourself or others.
3) Make sure you can see and be seen after dark by wearing a light colored costume,using reflective tape and or carrying a flash light.
4) If you are going house to house, without your parents or an adult, be sure and plan a route ahead of time with your family, so they know where you'll be and who will be with you.
5) Only approach houses that have their lights on.
6) While at the door, stand back several feet from the entrance and never go inside any ones house.
7)Be careful around pets and animals; they may be over excited or scared of people entering their territory and may bite.
8) Bring your candy home to be inspected before eating it to make sure that it has not been tampered with.
Kevin and I hope that these tips are helpful to all who are planing on going out and enjoying this fun time of year!
