Here’s what we’d do
Ask what kind of contact would be welcome: a short visit, a doorstep delivery or a call. Let the parent choose timing and company without assuming they want hosting duties. Keep the plan easy to cancel and make any offer of help specific.
How to make it happen
Go at your own pace.
- Before inviting
Choose the practical details
Ask before visiting and confirm whether bringing food, children or other guests is welcome.
- The shared part
Give the activity room
Follow the household's lead and keep the visit focused on what they actually requested.
- A good ending
Finish at the agreed pace
Leave at the agreed time and take responsibility for your own cups, dishes or packaging.
