Do you still let your children trick-or-treat? We still go out but only to the houses on our streat (about 10). I feel safe about this but wonder if parents still let their children rome the streets like we did when we were kids.
-
NOPE im with my kids the whole time. Yet I do remember when I grew up yes I was able to go on my own or with friends.
-
Kids are all grown now, but I push to let the grands still go out. Coming up I loved Trick or Treat and I still do. I might get dressed and go out myself. You just have to be aware and check the treats with the kids when they get in. If your afraid to let them out, giving a little party might help, and they can still have the fun of dressing up.

I take my kids trick or treating, infact i even dress up. last year i went as Billy Maes, this year I'm thinking about vincent. (sham Wow Guy)

Children need to still be children even in this world.
Things like trick-or-treating teach them valuable life skills, and you can still keep a watchful eye on your child while still letting them go and experience the world.
They can't live in a padded bubble room forever, unless you're trying to raise co-dependent child.

My kids just go out, but we live on a Marine base so i feel pretty safe with it.

my daughter is only 2 and this is the first Halloween shes going actually be awake for and even when she is 14 i WILL ALWAYS be with here! haha its not safe!!

Base housing is always safer.
Will you let them go out by themselves or like in a group?
My baby is still only 9mo's old so she's far too young to go out, so we're going to dress her up and hand out candy for the kids.
-
No I do not let my kids trick or treat. We either go to the church or I plan activites for them at home. Times are so critical right.
-
I always go with my kids but we go to the same houses every year. They actually get quite a bit of candy and we go as a huge group. My sisters and all of their kids, my mom, etc.

My older nephew lives with us and him and his friends will go out but my little girl is only a yr old so we have to go with her too.

Well yeah - why wouldn't you? I remember a year or 2 when my Mom (a big christian) wouldn't let us go because it was a devil's night. Seriously? Who doesn't let their kids go trick or treating?
-
m children sit and hand out candy
-
I love the fact that the malls are allowing for safe trick or treating. at least you wont b left going from house to house without having anyone home.
-
With the sick perverts out and about, I would never allow my child to go trick or treating. Buy the treats your self and make a game of it.
-
Sure, just go with them and they'll be pretty safe.
-
my kids are grown, but my grandkids go. i also give out candy so yeah, definitly, they would still go, it's a fun tradition. a little expensive for moms and dads but the kids have a great time. i remember when my daughter was about 7, we went to this house and they really got into it, and a man was dressed up as the chainsaw massacre. it scared her so much, she went to the car, and it took me forever to convince her it was only for fun.
-
Yes I let my kids go but I always go with them, just check the candy before they eat it. Kids needs to have fun, I would go if I still could but I'm little to old. I guess you could say I'm a big kid at heart.
-
My daughter is not old enough to go by herself so me and my boyfriend will be taking her to every house. I dont know if i would ever let my daughter go by herself. specially with all the college kids around.
-
yes , my children still go out to trick or treat, every year. every year, an adult goes with them and also checks all of the childrens candy. i also let them have a halloween party.
-
My parents never let my sister and I go out by ourselves. They took us everywhere. We would usually go see my grandparents and my old nanny and then trick or treat around one or both of their neighborhoods.
-
We go downtown where the stores hand out candy. We also have a Fall Festival at the church. Past that, there's time to swing by a few family members houses and that's it.
-
sure y not..?as long as i kno they'll b smart about everything it's fine w/ me.. ::)
-
I do but just to close family and friends
-
Halloween is the best! I was trick or treating until 21
