Below are some tips to make your Halloween festivities healthier for your family and others. For your family: Work out a plan with your children and discuss how to enjoy their candy and decide what they can do with the extra. Use your best judgment based on their personality and eating habits. Limit the amount of candy your children collect by limiting the number of houses they visit, or the amount of time they spend Trick-or-Treating. Always keep safety in mind. Only keep items that are unopened and in their original packaging. Trade candy for non-food items like bouncy balls and pencils. Know how much was collected and store it out of sight. Having candy visible makes it more likely that you or your children will eat it. Use Halloween candy for craft projects.
