As children grow, they’ll start to want a little more independence and enjoy all of the wonderful experiences that come along with growing up.
Although trick or treating here in the UK isn’t as popular as it once was due to issues concerning safety and strangers, thousands of children enjoy dressing up and hitting the streets in search of sweet treats and other fiendish delights every Halloween.
There comes a time that all parents dread, when your child starts pushing more and more for greater independence and to do things without their parents.
Children are naturally trusting of other adults. After all, they've experienced the kindness and warmth of family members, teachers and healthcare professionals so it's easy to see why the concept of stranger danger might be a little alien to them.
