Avoid wearing hats that will slide over their eyes. Be reminded to look left, right, and left again before crossing the street. Avoid giving choking hazards such as gum, peanuts, hard candies, or small toys as treats to young children. Inspect all candy for safety before children eat it. Watch for children in the street and on medians.
Exit driveways and alleyways carefully.
Have children get out of cars on the curb side, not on the traffic side. Have children draw a face on the outside of the pumpkin, then parents should do the cutting. Place lighted pumpkins away from curtains and other flammable objects, and do not leave lighted pumpkins unattended. Halloween poses special risks to young pedestrians. For example, most of the time children spend outdoors is typically during daylight hours.
