Reasons why you should not play mean Halloween tricks on kids

When you are a kid, you are vulnerable. While older kids can take mean Halloween tricks and even play some even more mean tricks back to the person who did the first mean trick, smaller children often just absorb the bad experience into their memories. This can have a very wrong and harmful psychological effect on them. Kids need to grow up knowing that they are loved.

Some parents think that by bringing their kids up in a tough environment it helps the kids be strong. However, it has been proven that more kids grow up with problems in the mean trick environment than in a loving home.

Most kids get scared, act outwardly hostile, cannot trust people, and be mean to others as a result of being in a home where mean tricks were played on them. Kids who grow up being played mean tricks on all the time think that it is ok to be mean to others.

Shielding your kids from mean Halloween tricks

Bigger kids, especially those who had mean Halloween tricks played on them as a child tend to want smaller kids to suffer the same fate as them. As a parent, you need to protect your kids from any mean Halloween tricks that may come their ways. But, don't be too obvious about it or your kids may get picked on even worse.
