Happy Halloween!!!
Time for fun but still be safe and respectful.
Teaching respect and good manners to your children
empower them to make good decisions on their own
when you are not with them.
In the mid-west there is a custom called "damage night"
the night before Halloween. Soap is one thing. Destructive
damage is something. On Halloween night, it is trick or treat.
When your children know the following rules, they can
then decide for themselves what "damage night" is really
about and what tricks to play:
AYOGM tip by Margery Sinclair: "If you break it, fix it.
If you can't fix it, find someone who can and pay the bill.
If it belongs to someone else and you want to use it, ask
permission."
AYOGM tip by Margery Sinclair: "Humor can put people
at ease or hurt their feelings. Analyze your motives
for teasing. Don't try to cover an insult with,
"I was only joking!" Express your sense of humor
with a kind heart. It is only funny if everyone is
laughing."
