Halloween Safety

Halloween is always a fun holiday for kids. I still remember the year that I had to miss Halloween because I was sick with chickenpox, but hopefully too many kids don't miss out on the fun because of swine flu fears.

Of course, kids who are actually sick with swine flu should stay home on Halloween so that they don't get other kids sick. Most others should be able to enjoy Halloween and trick-or-treating though.

Keep these Halloween safety tips in mind, including that your kids:

• wear a safe costume
• go trick-or-treating with supervision in safe neighborhoods
• only eat Halloween candy that has been inspected by an adult to make sure it is safe
• don't overdo it with Halloween candy
