Halloween Costumes For Teens & Tweens
Anytime a child has an accident,
it's tragic. Having your child get hurt any day of the year would be horrible
but the last thing that you want to happen is for your child to be hurt
on a holiday, like Halloween. It would forever live in the minds of the child and family,
ruining that special time of year.
Everyone wants to have a safe and happy Halloween for themselves, their guests and especially their children. Using safety tips and some common sense can help you make the most of your Halloween season, keeping it as enjoyable for your kids as it is for you! There are lots of simple ways to help keep your child safe on Halloween, when accidents and injuries are more likely to occur.
The excitement of children and
adults at this time of year can sometimes make them not as careful as they would
normally be. I've listed some suggestions that can do a lot to stop tragedies from happening
and help make the most of everyone's favorite holiday of the year...
Halloween!
Here's some tips that we have just for you kids, to help keep you safe on Halloween night! Some of these ideas are called "common sense" ideas, that means that they are things that you should know and use every day in life. You are never too young to learn!
Never, ever go into a strangers house or even ring their door for treats unless your parents are with you and say that it's okay. There are some people in life that aren't very nice to kids and you have to be careful. Always make sure that your mom or dad is within sight when you go out trick-or-treating.
If you are an older kid or young teen, and going out with friends, make sure that your parents know where you are going and who you are going with. This may seem like a pain but they are your parents and they love you. They just want you to be safe.
If you can drive and are taking a bunch of friends to a party, make sure that you have enough gas to get there. You don't want to run out on a dark street, all alone, like a bad horror movie!
If you parents give you a curfew, be home when they say. It builds trust between you and them and they are doing it for your own safety. If you are going to be late, call them and let them know.
Vandalism is never cool! Throwing objects at cars and houses is not cool. Someone has to clean it up and it could be you, if you get caught. You can also be arrested and punished as a juvenile. So, don't think that it's fun only if you can get away with it. It's never the right thing to do! Think about how you would feel if someone did that to your house and how bad it would make you feel.
Hurting animals is never acceptable behavior! Some people use Halloween as an excuse to hurt cats and that is just wrong! Not only is it illegal in most places to hurt or torture animals and punishable by law, you should never hurt a helpless living thing.
Have fun on Halloween but keep it safe, have some good, clean fun and your parents will trust you for many Halloweens to come! Showing them how responsible you can be will give you a feeling of pride and make them see just how adult you really are.
If you don't like to send your kids out for
trick or treating a good substitute is a trip to a Halloween themed park. Planning a trip to a local Halloween event for your kids can be just as fun for the adults as
it is for the kids. This is also a great adult holiday and getting together with family and friends for a Halloween adventure which includes adults can be very fun!
You can hold a costume contest, have a theme party, meet up at a theme park, the possibilities are endless
and work for both kids and adults!
