We hold strong to the idea that it takes a village to raise a child and that it’s important to operate from a place of empathy. And, sure, if we’re being exceedingly literal, that’s true, but we’re also out here trying to teach our kids what it means to be a good neighbor. When it comes to food allergies, we know that there are people out there who take a hard, “Not my kid, not my problem,” stance. For parents with children with food allergies, Halloween and trick-or-treating can be especially stressful and downright scary (in a not-fun way). For some parents, though, their concerns live on a whole other level. From overstimulation from all the merriment and sweets to sending our kiddos out trick-or-treating on their own for the first (or fourth time), we’re (over)thinking about everything that might take this day from fun to failure. (Just one of life’s many glorious mixed messages.) Fun and merriment for one and all, right? Not necessarily.Īs parents, it’s almost a guarantee that, at some point, we’ve worried about something on All Hallow’s Eve. However Halloween might have begun initially, we have always known it to be an opportunity to don costumes – scary or merry - and collect copious amounts of candy from neighbors and strangers alike.
