I am all for inclusion especially when it comes to children and allowing them to experience the joys of childhood. Halloween is one of those holidays where children can just be children despite their diagnosis, limits, and differences. Children can pretend to be someone or something else for a day. All of their troubles, anxieties, fears, and inabilities fade away. To allow for inclusion and understanding, I have complied some Halloween tips/tricks to make for a memorable holiday.

There are so many children on my case load, especially in pre-k and kindergarten that have never been exposed to scissor use. When I hand them a pair of scissors to use they just look at the tool like it’s foreign and they don’t even know how to hold them. The general consensus for limited exposure to scissor use is safety. Most caregivers express that they do not let their child use scissors at home for fear that they might cut their fingers, cut their hair, poke their eye out, etc. Trust me, I get it! Check out these 6 ways to introduce scissor skills safely, responsible, and of course, enjoyably.

It’s that time again for my monthly newsletter. October is filled with so many wonderful activities from all things pumpkins to Halloween.
