Preparing Children for Trick orTreatingDressing up to go trick or treating is very exciting for children and it creates lastingmemories for both children and parents. Help children prepare for trick or treatingwith these five strategies.1. Select a Costume – Help children select a costume that fits properly and is safe. Children maybe uncomfortable with anything on their face especially make up. Some children may not like masksbecause of sensory issues or limited vision. Keep these factors in mind when selecting an outfit. Forchildren who have difficulties with masks, holding a mask rather than wearing it or not using one at allmay make the evening more enjoyable.2. Set Costume Guidelines – Children often want to wear their costume other times than trick ortreating. Let them know if/when they can wear it besides trick or treating. Be sure to tell them thisbefore they buy the costume and after it is purchased. Explain why they can wear the costume onlyat certain times. For example, “You can put it on in the evening for a few minutes to see how youlook, but you can only wear it for a little while so it doesn’t get dirty before Halloween.”3. Practice Going to People’s Doors – Role play going to someone’s door,saying “Trick or treat,” holding a bag out, and saying “Thank you.” Remind childrento be polite, wait their turn, and take only one piece of candy when they are asked toselect something. It is tempting to rush to a door and take a handful of things whenoffered a basket or bowl to select from so multiple opportunities for review areimportant. Be sure to practice other things that may happen such as someone notbeing home or someone complimenting them on their costume.4. Establish Guidelines in Advance – Prepare children for factors such as: Whattime trick or treating starts and ends; How they know when it ends; Where they cantrick or treat (e.g. only houses with lights on, only people the child knows, onlyFrom thehomes in a four block radius, etc.); and What the rules are such as staying with astory, Halloweensibling or parent.
