Parent proxy view

Parents can look at a child’s practice and how their plan is going.

Once Family is open, a parent can look through the child’s view to check practice summaries and plan progress without sitting beside them the whole time. It is for understanding progress and adjusting support—not for practising in the child’s place.

Where it is

On Home, See through your child’s view: tap the child, then Enter. You can also start from Me → Family. This opens the child’s pages; it does not sign you in as the child.

What proxy view is / isn’t

It isIt isn’t
Looking at practice and progress summariesDoing the speaking practice for the child
Adjusting plans or tasks based on what you seeSharing the child’s account to practise for them (not recommended)
A starting point for an encouraging messageA way to pile on task reminders

The child should still do the speaking themselves, on their own account.

Suggested rhythm

  1. Open the child’s view from Home or Me → Family.
  2. Use What’s in Progress to read the timeline.
  3. Adjust the plan or assign a task if needed, then send a reminder in Messages.
