Gparents Day

one
In the Valley temps may be as low as the 60s or up into the 80s on Halloween night. Choose
costumes that won’t give the kids heat stroke in warm weather but can be layered for warmth if the mercury plunges.

two
Make sure your kids are visible to drivers. Include a costume element that reflects headlights or that glows brightly enough to be seen by passing cars—from front or back.

three
Get a group of kids from the neighborhood together for extra fun, and carpool if the houses are too far apart to walk.

four
Trick-or-treat where you know your neighbors. If you’re new to town or live in the country, try a public trick-or-treat option like UPtown’s Spooktacular.

five
Review safety rules a few days in advance and make clear where and when you will allow your children to trick-or-treat to avoid arguments that might otherwise spoil the holiday.
