Developing an Attitude of Gratitude with Your Kids- Jerry Seinfeld once recorded a hilarious routine about Halloween as a kid. "Let me see if I get this straight, all I have to do is dress up weird and parade around my neighborhood and people I don't know will give me candy? For free? I can do that!"
Halloween & Your Hound- Halloween is “fright night” for humans not dogs. Screaming, running, spooky children in masks make many dogs uncomfortable, nervous and frightened.
Halloween and Kids Teeth- With Halloween just around the corner, it?s time for children to start picking out costumes, and for parents to start worrying about their children?s teeth. Bags of sugar-laden candy from a night of "trick or treating" can make parents feel uncomfortable about allowing children to enjoy their goodies.
Helping Kids Overcome Their Fears and Phobias- Children love the fantasy and fun of dressing up in costumes and Halloween is usually an exciting and fun event for them. During October, however, the television networks begin running their annual horror flicks. Remember, young children still have trouble differentiating real life from make believe and many scary movies should be "off limits."
How to Take Great Halloween Pictures- "It's easy to turn this night of fantasy into permanent picture memories," says Chuck DeLaney, Dean of the New York Institute of Photography, "but you have to follow two simple guidelines or, excuse the pun, you won't have a ghost of a chance."
Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF- As a mom or a dad, you have a responsibility to teach your kids good values. By Trick-or-Treating for UNICEF, kids learn the importance of helping others in need while empowering them to make a real difference.

What Shall We Boo About Halloween?- Why Do Some Parents Freak Out Over Halloween? Most, but not all, of the families that choose to abstain from trick-or-treating and carving jack-o-lanterns do so for religious reasons. Does that mean they are stern-faced Puritans who don't appreciate a little whimsy in their lives? Not at all.
