SCREENINGS. >> IT IS ALREADY STRESSFUL
ESPECIALLY IF ENGLISH IS YOUR
SECOND LANGUAGE.
SECOND LANGUAGE. >>> WE'RE A DAY, A WEEK AND A
DAY FROM HALLOWEEN, ONE OF THE
MOST FUN HOLIDAYS OF THE YEAR.
>> LET'S CHECK IN WITH DR. DON
ABOUT STAYING SAFE WHEN YOUR
KIDS ARE OUT THERE
TRICK-OR-TREATING AND STAYING
CAREFUL.
CAREFUL.
CAREFUL. >> ALWAYS LOVE YOUR TIES.

I LOVE IT.

KIDS IN COSTUME.

>> AS DOCTORS, ACTUALLY.
>> SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
BEST HOLIDAY FOR KIDS EVER.
KIDS, CANDY, AND COSTUMES,
DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. ALL
THAT. ALL WE WANT TO DO WITH KIDS IN
THIS HOLIDAY IS HAVE FUN AND
HAVING FANTASY AND PARENTS ARE
IN THE IMAGINING BUSINESS,
WE'RE
WE'RE
WE'RE GOING TO IMAGINE, WHAT CAN WE
BE
BE
BE FOR
BE FOR HALLOWEEN?
FOR HALLOWEEN? CAN WE BE MORE POWERFUL?
SOMEBODY THAT WE REALLY WANT TO
BE?
BE?
BE? SOMEBODY ELSE THAT IS JUST
REALLY CONFIDENT.
REALLY CONFIDENT. AND --
AND --
AND -- >>
AND -- >> BECAUSE WE'RE NOT?
>> WELL, AS A 4 AND 5-YEAR-OLD,
WE DON'T FEEL SO CONFIDENT MOST
OF THE TIME.
SO THIS IS A GREAT HOLIDAY FOR
KIDS.
KIDS.
KIDS. THEY GET TO GO UP TO STRANGERS
AND ASK FOR CANDY WHICH IS
SOMETHING WE DON'T REALLY WANT
THEM TO DO MOST OF TIME, BUT WE
GIVE THEM PERMISSION ONCE A
YEAR.
YEAR.
YEAR. SO,
YEAR. SO, YOU KNOW, AS MY MOTHER USED
TO SAY IT IS ALWAYS FUN UNTIL
SOMEBODY GETS HURT.
>> SURE.
>> SURE.
>> SURE. >> SO WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT FUN
AND SAFETY AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT
THREE THINGS.
THREE THINGS. FIRST OF ALL, WE'LL TALK ABOUT
COSTUMES, WE'LL TALK ABOUT
CANDY, AND HOW TO WALK AROUND
SAFELY.
SAFELY.
SAFELY. >> 60 SECONDS FOR EACH.
>> FOR COSTUMES, WE WANT NO
RUBBER MASKS WITH THE FACE.
WE WANT COSTUMES THAT ARE
BRIGHT, SHORT, AND WELL LIT, SO
REFLECTIVE TAPE OR FLASHERS.
WE WANT MASKS INSTEAD OF THE
RUBBER MASKS TO BLOCK THE
VISION
VISION
VISION BECAUSE IT IS HOT AND KIDS WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO SEE WELL AT
NIGHT.
NIGHT.
NIGHT. IF
NIGHT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO USE MAKE UP,
WE WANT YOU TO GET MAKE UP AT
THE STORE AND TEST IT ON THE
INSIDE OF THE FOREARM 24 HOURS
BEFORE YOU PUT IT ON TO MAKE
SURE THAT THERE IS NO ALLERGIC
REACTIONS.
REACTIONS. AND WE WANT KIDS TO WEAR STURDY
SHOES.
SHOES.
SHOES. THAT IS THE SAFETY FOR
COSTUMES.
COSTUMES.
COSTUMES. FOR CANDY, IT MAY BE USEFUL,
THIS IS A HALLOWEEN PRETZELS,
IF
IF
IF KIDS
IF KIDS AREN'T WORRIED ABOUT
GLUTEN.
GLUTEN.
GLUTEN. INSTEAD OF THE TRADITIONAL
CANDIES, AND YOU MIGHT WANT A
SEPARATE BOWL FOR KIDS THAT ARE
ALLERGIC.
ALLERGIC.
ALLERGIC. THINGS LIKE STAR BURSTS, JELLY
BELLIES THERE, ARE RED DYES BUT
NONE OF THE EIGHT ALLERGENS.
PARENTS WILL GO THROUGH THE
CANDIES AS THEY BRING THEM HOME
AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE
CANDIES, THIS IS AN ORGANIC
CANDY CORN, THAT DOESN'T HAVE
ANY OF THE ALLERGENS IN THEM.
FOR CANDIES, TRADITIONAL
CANDIES
CANDIES
CANDIES ARE GREAT, BUT YOU MIGHT WANT
TO
TO
TO HAVE
TO HAVE SOME THINGS THAT ARE NOT
TRADITIONAL, PRETZELS OR
PENCILS.
PENCILS.
PENCILS. >> PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHILDREN
WITH
WITH
WITH FOOD
WITH FOOD ALLERGIES REALLY
APPRECIATE
APPRECIATE THE TEAL PUMPKINS THAT PEOPLE
PUT OUT.
PUT OUT.
PUT OUT. IT SIGNIFIES -- IT IS AN
INCLUSION THING THAT WE HAVE
DIFFERENT CANDY AVAILABLE.
>> IT IS ALWAYS GREAT TO HAVE
DIFFERENT CANDIES AVAILABLE.
LASTLY, OF COURSE, FOR YOUR
HOUSE, MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS
NO LEAVES THAT THEY CAN TRIP
OVER OR SLIP ON.
MAKE SURE THE PATHS ARE CLEAN
AND WELL LIT AND MAKE SURE YOUR
PORCH IS NOT THE SCARY PORCH
WITH SCARY MUSIC AND COBWEBS.
>> TR FOR --
BETTER FOR THE TEENS AND NOT
THE
THE
THE LITTLE ONES.
LITTLE ONES. MAYBE THE KIDS ARE ANXIOUS TO
BEGIN WITH.
BEGIN WITH. YOU WANT YOUR PORCH WELL LIT
WITH PUMPKINS THERE BUT THE
LAST
LAST
LAST THING, OF COURSE, IS TRY NOT TO
GET SO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE
HOLIDAY THAT YOU DRESS UP AS
SOMEBODY SCARY LIKE A VAMPIRE
OR
OR
OR A
OR A SCARY SCARE CROW OR SKELETON
AND OPEN THE DOOR TO SCARE THE
TRICK-OR-TREATERS.
TRICK-OR-TREATERS. >> YOU WANT THEM TO HAVE A GOOD
TIME.
TIME.
TIME. >>
TIME. >> EVERYONE HAS A STORY WHEN
THEY GOT SO SCARED THAT MAYBE
THEY SOILED THEIR UNDER WEAR
AND
AND
AND HAD
AND HAD TO GO HOME AND CHANGE.
>> I DON'T HAVE THAT STORY.
REAL QUICK --
>> JAKE HAS THAT STORY.
>> THAT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO PARENTS
THAT ARE AFRAID ABOUT THE CANDY
OVER LOAD.
OVER LOAD. >> WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT NEXT
WEEK.
WEEK.
WEEK. THERE ARE EIGHT DAYS TO GO.
I'LL BE HERE NEXT WEDNESDAY
TALKING ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH
THE 43 POUNDS OF CANDY AND TWO
PILLOW CASES FULL OF CANDY THAT
COME IN AND GET DUMPED ON THE
FLOOR.
FLOOR.
FLOOR. ONE LAST THING, FLU BEFORE BOO,
OKAY?
OKAY?
OKAY? OCTOBER 31st IS HOPEFULLY THE
DEADLINE BY WHICH THE FAMILIES
WILL GET THE FLU SHOTS.
AGAIN, PLEASE REMEMBER, THIS IS
AN IMPORTANT THING.
