Halloween is a wonderful excuse to play: dressing up, giving
and getting candy, and enjoying a good laugh with friends. However, for those
aging loved ones who may have dementia, Halloween can be a disorienting day.
Unexpected knocks at the door or loud noises in the neighborhood can disrupt
daily routines and cause anxiety for some.
Infants and toddlers:
Halloween is a time for parents with
babies to capitalize on cute. Toddler's too young to go trick-or-treating but
still they can celebrate Halloween together. Most of the parents dress up there
kids in Halloween costumes. But dressing is not enough for kids. Carving
pumpkins is the tradition of Halloween and yes even your little babies’ can
involved in this. Some game/activity can be done on this day. As kids like
this. You may put different things in a
tub for the young infants to explore and do not forgot to give candy’s as
prize. Also you can plan activity in which both parents and there kids
participate together.
Children and Teenagers:

dress themselves in comic or ghostly costumes and knock on neighborhood doors
shouting "Trick or Treat!”. Children always like to do adventurous and
creative things. You may ask them to carve pumpkin and by this they feel the
part of your Halloween decoration. Halloween does not just have to be trick or

Adults:
Not all the adults want to dress up themselves on
Halloween. However, some interested in giving out candy, putting Halloween
decorations, carving pumpkins. Some adults dress up as historical or political
figures and go to masquerade parties. In larger cities, costumed children and
their parents gather at shopping malls early in the evening.
Seniors:
Off course we cannot forgot our seniors. Our all
celebrations just incomplete without them.
This is the best time to spend a lot of time with our parents, grand
parents. Mostly seniors stay at home and give candies. Some attend Halloween
Dance parties. It is good if the home party will be arranged.
