Dr Justin Coulson's Happy Families #1112 - Help for Halloween
Halloween can be an equal mix of excitement for the kids and chaos for parents, right? And finding a balance between our children's desire for independence (to have fun, to explore, and to eat ALL the sugar) whilst maintaining a sense of safety is a challenge.
We share some practical tips to help make Halloween meaningful for your family, from building community connections to teaching social skills, plus some fun twists on the classic trick-or-treat! 🎃👻
In this episode:
- Balancing fun & safety for kids
- Setting boundaries & rules
- Alternative Halloween celebrations
- Trunk-or-treat
- Cultural differences (gore vs fun)
- Community & family bonding
- Teaching social skills and life lessons
