If your children from the younger set then you will probably be chaperoning them as they make the rounds of the neighborhood in search of Halloween candy. Consider that most folks who will be handing out the trick or treating goodies likely work at a 9-5 gig and therefore might not be home until a bit later in the evening. That doesn’t mean you should wait until well after sundown before taking your young ones on their Halloween excursion but know who’s who in your neighborhood.

You may also consider turning your kid’s trick or treating night into a play date. Perhaps you can organize a small gather of friends to use your house as “home base.” Going as a group will add to the fun of trick or treating.

A week or so before Halloween you should be able to tell which houses are going to be in the trick or treating business. Usually the folks who have taken the time to put up Halloween decorations will be the same ones who are handing out candy. Even a simple carved Jack-o-lantern placed on the porch could designate that trick or treaters are welcome.

However, with the busy life that we have it may be a good idea to ring all of the door bells to see what kind of trick or treat you get.

If you start out when there is still daylight, chances are you may end up trick or treating in the dark. This means you should carry along a working flashlight to help guide the way. If you have the chance, consider adding reflective strips to trick or treat bags or plastic pumpkins. Some candy bags and costumes have reflective strips already built in.

You should also set some “candy boundaries” for the kids. It would be a good idea for them not to dip into their trick or treating bag and eat all of the candy.
