Trick-or-treading safety. ________4________ You can go with your younger kids. Older kids can go in groups themselves. Allow children to go trick-or-treating early but avoid the evening rush hour. It ’ s harder for cars to see clearly at night than at any other time. Remind children to walk on sidewalks and be careful when crossing streets. Tell children to only go to neighbors they know and only to houses with lights on. And tell children to turn down all invitations to enter homes.
