Halloween night, although exciting and fun, can
be stressful and traumatic on toddlers who don’t yet understand
the concept of the holiday.
Here are a few tips to help you keep Halloween simple
and stress-free for the little guys and gals.
Borrow A Costume
– These kiddos are so little and chances are they have no idea what
they are being dressed as or why. Save the money and borrow a
costume from another family whose toddler has outgrown the costume.
No Masks
– They don’t stay on. They are not safe as they block the child’s
peripheral vision, which is, of course, unsafe when walking from
house to house, and they are uncomfortable. Consider light face
painting instead or a simpler costume that doesn't require anything
for the face.
Consider The Weather
– If you live in a climate where on Halloween night the temperature
could range from 40-degress F on up to 80-degrees F, take that into
consideration when selecting your child’s costume. Don’t use the
Blue’s Clue’s idea above if you live in a year-round warm weather
climate and don’t make your child a belly dancer if there’s a chance
that the weather will be cold and rainy. Consider the weather in
advance to avoid disappointment.
Don’t Take A Toddler To Houses Where They Are
Unfamiliar With Those Who Live There –
A toddler doesn’t
need a bucket full of treats. It can be confusing to tell your
toddler “Don’t talk to Strangers” but then to send him door to door
asking him to do just that. Take the child to a handful of houses
where he/she is familiar with the residents. Or better yet, take
the child to relative’s houses like grandparents, aunts, uncles,
cousins, etc. They will love to see the child dressed up and the
child will experience no fear.
Find A Local Mall Or Community Center
– In many cities, malls or community centers will hold ‘in house’
trick-or-treating activities. These are great places for the little
ones to get their feet wet to learn what Halloween is all about.
