Happy Halloween from your friends at Richardson Housing Group! RHG wishes you a wonderful evening full of laughter and lots of sweet treats. Here are some trick-or-treating tips to make sure everyone has a safe and fun time.

  • Skip the shoes that come with the costume and wear comfortable shoes you can easily walk in. Make sure laces are double-tied, so you don’t accidentally trip and fall in the dark.
  • Make sure the kids walk, and don’t run, from house to house. Keep kids close at hand to make sure they don’t dart across the street without looking both ways. Children should always walk on sidewalks or on far edge of the roadway facing traffic.
  • Every person in your trick-or-treating party, big and small, should carry their own flashlight to illuminate their path.
  • Make sure costumes are bright and reflective. If your child is dressed as a zombie, witch, or other dark and spooky creature, affix reflective strips of tape to their costume and on their shoes.
  • Only trick-or-treat in your own neighborhood or neighborhoods you are familiar with. Review the route beforehand so no one gets lost or confused along the way.
  • When you get home, check your children’s candy before they dig in. Make sure all candy is unopened and undamaged, and toss any homemade treats your kids may have received.
