⚠️ Have you noticed your toddler having more nightmares or night terrors lately? 👻
As Halloween approaches, it is important to be mindful of all the ways your toddler could be exposed to scary things 💀. While you may be vigilant in keeping them away from frightening movies or TV shows, many retail stores now have spooky decorations and products on display that can be unsettling for young children 🙁
Take Kmart’s new Halloween display as an example - it is positioned right at the store entrance to promote their seasonal products 🎃. While this makes sense from a retail and marketing perspective, it also means that there is no way to avoid these spooky displays as you enter the store 😖. This could result in your toddler being unexpectedly confronted with images and decorations that could genuinely frighten them 😰. Therefore, it is something to keep in mind when bringing your toddler along on shopping trips, especially with Halloween approaching 🩷
To be honest, even WE find their oversized spiders 🕷️ with wiggling legs and glowing red eyes 👀 creepy - imagine how unsettling and scary they might be for a toddler! 🆘
