Hey Dads, Halloween is creeping up on us, and if you’re co-parenting, it’s not just the ghosts you might be worrying about. The holiday can feel like a minefield, but it doesn’t have to be a horror show. Here’s your guide to making Halloween sweet for everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Planning: Not Just for the Paranormal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Let’s get it straight: last-minute arrangements are scarier than any haunted house. Here\u2019s what to pre-arrange:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Costume Quest<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Shopping for the kiddo’s costume? Make it a tag-team event. If you can’t be there for trick-or-treating, at least you got to be part of the fun in choosing the outfit. Be smart\u2014agree on some ground rules like weather-appropriateness and kid-approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Some parents love Halloween; others just can’t stand the witching hour. If you\u2019re the former, maybe you should keep the candy-collecting duties year-to-year. No harm, no foul. But if you’re both up for it, how about a joint trick-or-treating mission? Yes, it’s a thing and could be an awesome experience if you’re on good terms. If not, a picture or two of the kiddos can go a long way in sharing the spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Healthy Haunting<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Look, it’s one night of sugar rush, but we can mitigate the damage. Agree on candy rationing and make sure the teeth get an extra good brush. Also, remember, COVID-19 didn’t check the calendar; keep the safety protocols intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Heart of Halloween<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The key ingredient to a successful Halloween is a mature, flexible approach. Can you attend a pumpkin patch trip together? Fantastic. But if doing anything together is bound to turn into a real-life horror movie, separate activities may be the best trick to treat everyone right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
