Tips for a Frighteningly Fun and Scarily Safe October 31

October is here and with it comes the excitement of costumes and candy. Halloween is a fun-filled time for kids and parents alike but can also present some dangers to your superhero, princess or ghost.

Your neighborhood Stanford Medicine Children’s Health pediatricians at Bayside Pediatrics and Livermore Pleasanton San Ramon Pediatrics have some great tips to help your family scare up the fun while keeping danger at bay.

Both Bayside and LPSR opened their first practices in the East Bay nearly 40 years ago. Today, they maintain their strong roots in the community while offering access to the same clinical excellence and innovation that starts at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital on the Stanford campus. Over the years, they’ve seen their fair share of the downside of Halloween when safety precautions are overlooked. Here are a few helpful safety reminders to keep in mind before you hit the trick or treat trail.

Treats

Pediatricians say that parents often ask what to do with all that extra candy. At Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, we offer this information to donate to Operation Gratitude or check with your dentist for local donation options.

Stanford Medicine Children’s Health is the only network in the area exclusively dedicated to pediatric and obstetric care – and is now in over 60 locations across the Bay Area. In the east bay, pediatric practices include in six east bay locations and Livermore Pleasanton San Ramon Pediatrics (LPSR) in three locations.
