First walk to a friend’s house.

Do the route together once.

Walk it side by side, noting crossings and the house itself. Then let them lead the second time.

Let the arrival speak.

Save the friend’s house as a Place. An arrival alert replaces the “did you get there?” text, and a departure alert tells you they’re on the way home.

Agree it with the other family.

A quick message between parents about timing and pickup keeps everyone on the same page.

Honest limits.

Indoors, a location can be approximate or delayed. If something looks unexpected, call — that’s what the plan is for.
