Australia is still new to halloween, which means families have the chance to make their own traditions and adapt them to their kids' needs 🎃
Halloween can be a lot: scratchy and hot costumes, flashing lights, loud doorbells, spooky themes, and staying up way past bedtime... So if your child finds it overwhelming their sensory system is doing its job, it's not bad behaviour (or just too many lollies!)
Here’s something you could try this year. Three sensory-friendly ideas for a calmer trick-or-treat if your family is participating: Try the costume early, head out early, and plan an easy exit.
Young minds loves helping families make celebrations work for their kids 💜 We wish everyone a safe and fun weekend! 🧡
Save this for Halloween, and send it to a parent planning their trick-or-treat route.
