If your little ghost, goblin, witch, or fairy is planning to head out for a trick-or-treat adventure this season, be sure he or she knows that safety always come first - no matter how cool your son or daughter's costume may be. Here are a few hip tips to instill in your trick-or-treaters this Halloween. Halloween should be a fun time for your children, but it's up to you to keep it that way.
