Keep the owner in control; age alone does not determine technical ability.

How to do it

An original activity to try, adapt or skip for your circumstances; outcomes are not guaranteed.

  1. Ask whether calls, audio, text or written instructions work best.
  2. Set a contact name or brief guide with the person’s consent.
  3. Test sending and receiving both ways and agree on a backup channel.
