splash of neon colour to your costume.
(It looks really cool at night and is easy
to recognize among the other goblins.)
• Less is more; don’t get all the accessories
for your child (wands, swards,
pistols, etc.). (Other kids get hurt and
you end up carrying them anyway.)
When trick-or-treating:
• Tell your little ones, “If you can’t see
me, I can’t see you … and that is dangerous.”
• Everyone should have a flashlight or
a glowstick on them at all times.
• Nothing should be in your child’s
hands except for their basket or
bag… if that.
Before the sugar rush:
• Throw away all suspicious and
unwrapped candy.
• A special trick to test for safe chocolate
candies Mr. No-No calls “dunk the
junk.” Submerge the candy in a bowl
of water, and if you see air bubbles or
your candy is wet, throw it away.
• If available, take all candy to a security
checkpoint location like a court
house or an airport and get it x-rayed.
After the sugar rush:
• Drinking a glass of water or milk after
filling up on candy will help settle their
tummies.
