Take the child for a walk and double back over your track and see if
he will recognize the fact that he has been there before. Take him to
the same place by different roads and let him guide you back home. When
you are ready to go home after a walk let the child play the game of
taking you home. He will enjoy this and it will develop independence
and the ability to get home alone if such a necessity should arise.
Occasionally ask him what direction you are traveling and in which
direction his home is located. When the corner is turned have him tell
the new direction.
