My teenage son wants to go trick-or-treating and I am thinking of telling him no.
Can you explain to me why you don't want to let him go?
The kid just screamed and cried uncontrollably because we put a costume on him and told him to say hello to other children.
Trick or treating is important for children. You need to teach him to behave better if you should let them go.
Come on, it's just candy and not every kid dressing up is going to have a good time. The boy will cry and run at the sight of stranger. It's not like he's going to get harmed, but I don't want his behaviour to be toxic.
A lot of things can go wrong on Halloween, but that's no reason to keep a growing teen from going out and having fun with his friends. How would you have liked it if your parents had banned holidays from you?
