• Children should walk-not-run-from house to house.
DR. TIFFANY GRAHAM Vice President
• Children should stay on sidewalks instead of walking between cars or on lawns, where there could be tripping hazards. • Parents should remind children to look for cars when crossing driveways. • Pedestrians shouldn’t assume they have the right of way, because motorists may not see them. • Go trick-or-treating before it is truly dark, especially with young children.

tips for trick-or-treaters • Parents and children should consider choosing costumes that are lighter in color, which make it easier for drivers to see them. Adding reflective material to the front and back makes a costume easier to pick out. It can even be built into the design. • Avoid costumes that make it more difficult for a child to see, especially ones that include costume masks. Of course, due to the pandemic, children and chaperones should wear masks that cover the nose and mouth and practice social distancing if possible, even when walking on sidewalks. • Give children a flashlight to walk with in the dark so they can be more easily seen by drivers. Glow sticks can help, too.
