Planning notes

Planning note Visits need a gentle starting point Family visitors often want something to do together but do not want the visit to feel scripted. A single prompt or card can make the first few minutes easier.
Planning note Keep personal details optional Family prompts should be broad enough to include friends, neighbors, teachers, church members, or community memories when family wording is not comfortable.
