Greetings!
 Happy Halloween! This is such a fun time for us as we see our children dressed in their costumes and a fun time for some of us parents, as we dress up in ours!
All of us at Small World Pediatrics, want to remind everyone to have fun tonight and to stay safe! As you are out trick-or-treating with your children, it is always advisable to walk in groups when possible. The old rule of thumb "safety in numbers" applies. Anyone with negative intentions is less likely to approach a group, plus cars passing by are much more likely to notice a group, rather than just a few individuals. Also, remind your group to walk on the sidewalk, stay together and take good care when crossing the street.
The right costume is important when considering safety. A bright costume is always better for walking around at night. If your child's costume is dark, consider adding some reflective tape. Masks are often overlooked as a safety hazard. Please make sure your child has good visibility when they are wearing their mask. Also, remember to keep any capes on the shorter side to avoid your child or other children from stepping or tripping on them.
Enjoy this evening with your children and enjoy creating some memories! I look forward to hearing some fun stories from our patients!
Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives & have a great day,
Dr. Jose Jimenez
