Yes, yes, it’s early to be talking about trick-or-treating. But I really love this piece by Katie McPherson about the Halloween safety tips that actually matter — according to pediatricians. She writes: “‘Don’t take homemade Halloween treats because they could have razor blades in them.’ This little gem of a Halloween safety tip has actually been proven to be more of an urban legend than a real threat, but it’s top of parents’ minds nonetheless. Ahead of Halloween this year, the American Academy of Pediatrics has prepped a list of legit trick-or-treat safety tips for parents with kids of all ages. These pointers are based on real hazards and risks pediatricians know families encounter while they’re out getting their spook on.” It’s practical and it’s useful. — Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor |
