Halloween is such a fun night of the year for our kids. I love hearing their squeals of joy as they sprint from house to house, festive and collecting more sugar than any one child should ingest. That said, Halloween is also one of those holidays that makes us parents nervous. Distracted drivers, kids entirely too excited to pay attention to their normal pedestrian rules, low visibility when masks or hats are involved, and then just being out past daylight hours.
Sadly, according to Safe Kids, twice as many children are killed while walking on Halloween than any other day of the year. Our friends at UTMB Health have shared some very important tips below for Houston parents. We encourage you watch and share with your little goblins and witches! Stay safe, y’all! {And make sure to take your “parent tax” cut of the candy, too! Just saying…}
