How do you “Refresh “ the find my app? A lot of times it is 20 minutes or LONGER before can get current location of phone/device. This is way too long when trying to keep track of 4 kids. Help please

Ya it works when you first open but I’m talking about keeping up w/ my 4 kids. So if they moving down road then “Device Icon” does not move also. Now phone will eventually go to live but they smart. They leave c/p in one spot & keep moving. So have to find them w/ Apple Watch or Apple AirTag but the lag & do not update w/ movements. That is what I am asking about. How do you get the “Device Icon” to refresh positions in that app?? I just want to keep them safe as possible & out of trouble
