[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not do an indoor option.  Rain gear and go.  It is Halloween.  Teach them to be resilient in subpar weather.  Even if they only want to go to a few houses, that is fine.

Indoor is a complete parent cop out. [/quote]

Haha you’re so intense! What do you for a living? I like your answer and not being rude. I’m genuinely curious and feel like your intensity prob serves you well in some capacity.[/quote]

NP here. Is going trick or treating in the rain really considered intense? I guess it would shock you that we (& many others at the same park) just camped in a tent in the pouring rain this weekend. I think carrying an umbrella and going trick or treating in the rain is pretty standard. At least, it was when I was a kid.
Don’t you guys ever go out in the rain just to let your kids play in the puddles? [/quote]

No. My kid has sensory issues and hates rain. Any other quesitons?[/quote]

So when it rains he stays home all day?  Ridiculous![/quote]

Don't judge, you don't know the child and you don't know the situation. [/quote]

NP. +1 You have no idea what we've gone through with our sensory-avoidant kid, who would cry if anything wet touched her skin even as an infant. I will still take her ToT-ing on Thursday, but even with a raincoat, umbrella & rainboots, it's going to be rough on all of us. Yes, we see therapists and have for years. Save your judgment.[/quote]
Then this thread isn't for you, or other kids with sensory issues.  The OP asked for ideas for her young kids who are excited to trick or treat and posted in the general parenting forum. To NT parents with NT kids, the idea of nixing ToTing because of a little rain seems ridiculous. If your situation is different, you can safely assume they aren't referring to you or your child. I hope you have a fun and safe Halloween, whatever you decide to do.[/quote]

No, I’m sorry, people with SN kids don’t have to be relegated only to the special needs forum. [/quote]

NP and I love of you swooped in and made this thread all about you. It seems like you already have a plan for rain on Halloween that is specific to your child and yet you still have to stir the pot! [/quote]

100%.

Next time, OP, you should title this thread "Trick or treat rain options - Thursday forecast, specifically for non-sensory-avoidant kids who would cry if anything wet touched her skin even as an infant."[/quote]
