If your child wakes up in the middle of the night and wants to come into your bed, here's what you can do:
				Consider allowing them to sleep with you. After all, we now know that the "family bed" can be helpful for many children. Keep a sleeping bag open on the floor next to your bed. When your child needs an extra feeling of security they can crawl into it without waking you up. Return them to their room, and spend a few moments comforting them until they fall back to sleep.
					Remember: We all want to be better parents - but kids don't come with an instruction manual.

			When Halloween has become just too much — too expensive, too much candy or too dangerous, here's what you can do:
				Set a "candy eating limit" before Halloween starts, so your child knows what the rules are. Give your child a costume budget, and remind them they can make all or part of the costume. Consider letting your child spend any money saved on something else. Attach glow-in-the-dark strips to the back of your child's costume so they can be more easily seen at nighttime.
