Halloween is almost here and that means giving out treats or trick-or-treating. There are some rules that go with the holiday and “Today” has gathered all the etiquette tips you may not have thought about. Here are a few:
When Handing Out Treats:
- Instead of saying “what are you?” say “Tell me about your costume”
- Make sure to not dress too scary or you might freak out children on the spectrum
- Participate in the teal pumpkin campaign. Have non-food items for kids with food allergies
For Trick-Or-Treating:
- Part of the joy for those at home is hearing “trick-or-treat” and “thank you”. Have your little ones say that while going house to house
- If it’s your first year, prep your child by exposing them to spooky decorations in daylight
- Make sure your child doesn’t eat the candy until you’ve inspected it
- If your teen is going out, remind them to be respectful of little kids
- Also ask your teen for their logistics and set a check in time
