Halloween's right around the corner, and for moms, that usually means costumes, candy and all things spooky. But if you're like me, you're also wondering how to keep faith a priority during a season that can sometimes feel a little...off. Here's a few ideas on how you can let your kids enjoy "Halloween" fun while keeping faith at the center.
1. Focus on Fun, Not Fear
Let's be real- Halloween can sometimes get a bit dark, but it doesn't have to be that way in your home. You can encourage your kids to choose fun, positive costumes that celebrate creativity. Whether they want to be superheroes, animals, or even faith-inspired characters like angels or Bible figures, it's a chance to remind them that they can be anything-while still honoring their values.
2. Teach Your Kids to Be the Light
Whether you're going trick-or-treating or attending local events, use Halloween as a teaching moment. Remind your kiddos that they can be light to other-by being kind, sharing, and showing gratitude. It's a great way to help them understand that living their values doesn't stop when the costumes go on.
3. Offer Faith-Friendly Alternatives
If you're not into the whole Halloween scene, no worries-there are plenty of ways to celebrate the season. You could hold a family movie night or bake fall-themed treats.
4. Don't Forget to Pray
In the middle of the Halloween madness, it's easy to forget to pause and pray. Before heading out for the evening, gather the family and pray for kindness, safety, and fun.
5. Enjoy the Moment
Let your kids enjoy the excitement of the fall season while guiding them with values like love, kindness, and generosity. They'll learn that faith is part of everyday life.
