We all want to raise kids who think critically and care deeply about the world around them. But it’s a delicate line, isn’t it?

Halloween should be about fun memories, and while candy is part of that, teaching kids to enjoy it in moderation is one of those lessons that pays off in the long run. With a little bit of balance and a lot of understanding, we can make Halloween a treat without the tricks.

The goal isn't to stop tantrums from happening (that would be unrealistic) but to guide children through them in a way that teaches emotional regulation and builds their problem-solving skills.
