Top 10 Halloween Health and Safety Tips for "Groan-Ups"

With spooky costumes and gooey treats, Halloween is a great time for kids of all ages. As the big day approaches, Children's Center at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento recommend these simple "tricks" for parents who want to keep their little ghouls and goblins from OD'ing on candy this year. There are also several things "groan-ups" can do to make Halloween as safe as possible.

1. Enjoy the Day
Childhood obesity is growing medical crisis but it's OK to let your kids indulge a little bit.
 
2. Fill 'em up
Serve your kids a healthy dinner (with foods they like) before trick-or-treating, so they won't be as tempted to eat candy before you have a chance to inspect it.
 
3. Safety First
Halloween night is no different when it comes to safety. Parents should trick-or-treat with young children at all times and all trick-or-treaters should have flashlights. Don't forget a charged mobile phone for emergencies.
