Is Your Child Too Young to Trick-or-Treat? Here's How to Know -- and How to Prepare!

-- After a few stops at predetermined homes, neighborhood toddlers can congregate at a nearby house to celebrate Halloween through fun and games.

-- Always check the candy to make sure it's safe before handing it over to eager children. Even though you may know your neighbors well, it's a good idea to get your child used to the practice. In the not so distant future, your child's Halloween adventure will inevitably expand to the homes of neighbors you don't know as well. Instilling the rule that a parent will always check candy first is a great way to introduce your tot to this essential safety rule.
