Well before visiting:

  • Contact those you will be visiting to determine:
    • Most convenient time for you to visit
    • Whether you can bring anything
    • Whether you can help with anything while you’re visiting
  • Consider taking a gift
  • Consider taking the herb echinacea to possibly prevent catching a cold, etc. from the people, especially children, you’re visiting

Right before visiting:

  • Call those you will be visiting to let them know you’re on your way

If your child will be visiting someone:
