Trick-or-treat together. AAA recommends that parents
accompany young trick-or-treaters at least until the age of 12.
Choose costumes wisely. Make sure your child is visible by selection
a light colored costume, or by adding reflective tape. Choose disguises that do
not obstruct vision and opt for face paint instead of masks.
Review trick-or-treating precautions .Plan and discuss the
route your trick-or-treaters will follow. Teach children to sop only at
well-lit houses and to never enter a stranger’s home or garage.
Always walk on sidewalks, if available. If there are no
sidewalks, walk as far to the left of the road as possible, facing traffic.
Give everyone a flashlight to help them see and to be seen by drivers.
Never cross between parked cars or mid-block.
