Communication is Key:

Before you leave for Halloween parties,

parades, or other fun events, have a quick family meeting so that your

whole family knows how long you plan to stay and how you expect them to

behave. Give your child a schedule of events for special activities,

particularly on days with lots of transitions. Whether it’s a written schedule

or one with pictures for younger kids, your child will feel calmer and safer

knowing what is coming up. Discuss the schedule regularly and provide info

for each event. Have a code word your child can use if he or she feels

overwhelmed and needs a break. Honor the code word by removing your

child from the stressful situation for a few moments, and discuss coping

skills. Again, giving children some control during activities that may be over-

stimulating will reduce anxiety and enhance the fun.

Many face paints contain lead, a neurotoxin, and other

toxic chemicals. Make your own face paints, glitter gel and more! See

for easy recipes Halloween masks and store-bought costumes often contain

PVC plastic - which is made of chemicals linked to health problems. Making

your own costumes is a lot of fun, provides a wonderful learning experience

for kids and is much cheaper and healthier!

Candy Creations:

If you're child's on a restricted diet, bounces off the wall with too much sugar, or just

needs to avoid a long stay in the dentist's chair, big batches of high-calorie, high-sugar, hyper-loading sweet

stuff can be a crisis. Rather than empty the trick-or-treat bag (or Easter basket, or goody bag) into the trash

when the kids aren't looking -- or scarfing it all up yourself -- think about using those highly motivating but

highly problematic goodies in a way that can make both you and your child happy.

asking for treats, threatening tricks. It's Halloween! Time for some scary and not-so-spooky tales filled with

pumpkins, ghosts, and monsters galore.
