October 2012
The holiday season is fast approaching and one of the first celebrations that line up every family’s calendar—whether it’s moms coordinating with a busy household staff or kids gearing up to circle the neighborhood in their best costumes, October 31st is a busy time for everyone. Halloween is a fun time for parents and kids to bond—choosing a costume theme to shopping for giveaways or decorating the home can make the entire month an exciting time for everyone.
With the mad rush that takes place, it is easy to forget the ‘dos and don’ts. Give your kids some pointers before they venture out to Trick or Treat and keep these tips in mind too to make your Halloween night smooth and memorable!

Moderation Counts!
The kids and kids at heart may be ready to go on a rampage, filling up their baskets with treats—after all, isn’t that what Trick or Treating is all about? It will help, though, to give the kids a brief talk before you allow them to step out. Greed is never a good thing, and asking them to respect the amount of candy each homeowner wants to give (instead of asking for more) will give them a nice little reminder before they start knocking on the neighbors’ doors.
Costume Check.
Most Halloween get-ups are done in the name of good fun. Sometimes, however, certain themes and characters may be offensive to certain people. Before you allow the kids to party in their Trick or Treat garb, give it a quick look to make sure that no delicate lines are crossed. Cultural jabs and politically incorrect costumes, after all, are a no-no during this season and any other time of the year.
Party Propriety.
The entire neighborhood may be decked in décor and Halloween weekends are particularly festive throughout any community, but do take into consideration that residential areas still carry certain rules. Parties may be loud and may take up parking spaces throughout your street—be aware that you may have to answer to complaints from neighbors about noise or traffic and make sure to keep things at a respectable level especially after hours.
Play Host.
If your kids and their friends are using your home as a jumping off point for Trick or Treating, make sure you have the contacts of all their parents to let them know that their children are safe under your watch. If you’re not walking along with the little kids, make sure there is a teenager or appropriate chaperone around to keep tabs on them! Halloween is a time for a lot of rough and tumble and you wouldn’t want to get the kids lost in all the chaos.
