a good friend of mine posted this as her facebook status today and i feel like this message is a really important one, and one that needs to be shared. halloween is a fun time of year for everyone, so as adults let’s ensure that happens for all the kids!
“With Halloween upon us, please keep in mind, a lot of little people will be visiting your home. Be accepting. The child who is grabbing more than one piece of candy may have poor fine motor skills. The child who takes forever to pick out one piece of candy may have motor planning issues. The child who does not say trick or treat or thank you may be non-verbal. The child who looks disappointed when they see your bowl might have an allergy. The child who isn’t wearing a costume at all might have a sensory issue (SPD) or autism. Be nice. Be patient. Its everyone’s Halloween.”
and, since we’re on the topic of fun and safety at halloween,
have you considered going peanut-free with the treats you hand out?
