Man, halloween can be super stressful, but I'm hoping these few tips and strategies can make the festivities fun!
1.) Let your kiddo choose their outfit and try it out before the night of trick-or-treating.
2.) If your child is easily scared, talk about the scary things and remind them it's not real and you are there to help keep them safe. Also, go when it's light out to help with making it less scary.
3.) Take a picture of your child in their costume in case they get away from you. Also, have them wear some sort of lighting feature or place reflective tape on their costume.
4.) Exchange candy for books, toys or another non-candy reward.
5.) Get to bed at your normal time. This helps to reduce the chances of having a few hard days.
I hope this helps make your halloween successful!
