Your Annual Reminder Not To Be A Jerk To Kids On Halloween “Don’t scold kids who act a little too eager, or a little too shy. Don’t demand that they say thank you.”
This will be my first Halloween as a mom of three trick-or-treaters, I am so damn excited. My kids are eight, five, and almost two, and it’s going to be so much fun for all three of them now that they’re finally old enough to enjoy trick-or-treating.I’ve got three kids, but only one is likely to have a terrible experience with a grumpy, demanding Halloween mood-killer.
Halloween is not a regular day. On Halloween, there are flashing lights, loud noises, scary costumes and lots and lots of people. My boy will do okay. He loves Halloween, and wants to go out to collect candy with his siblings.But it’s very unlikely that he will remember all the little rules. If he comes across one of those miserable adults who refuses to lower the candy bowl until they hear “the magic word,” or scolds children who forget to say thank you, or asks kids stupid things like, “Cat got your tongue?” when they refuse to engage in a conversation about their costume, he will be confused, frustrated and disappointed. He is already mustering up all his courage and patience to participate. This kind of night is both fun and deeply exhausting for neurodivergent kids.
