Child accounts

ID + PIN, so a child can sign in and practise on their own.

A child account lets a child sign in and practise on their own, while blocking risky actions. After you add a child in Me → Family, you get an ID and a PIN (at least 4 digits; follow the App), not an email address.

Why it exists

  • The child can speak on their own without sharing the parent’s email and password.
  • The parent keeps proxy view, minute allocation, and making and starting plans.

What a child can and usually cannot do

Usually canUsually cannot
Sign in to the App and practiseDelete the account
Do tasks and see their own ProgressInvite others or switch spaces
Practise from active plans and tasksSign in to a child or learner account with LINE
Live pair practice with a parent (both agree)Buy points or change billing

What the child sees in Me

After signing in, the child’s Me tile shows read-only info such as Practice left (allocated by the parent or granted by the platform). The child cannot buy anything or change billing.

Parent side

  1. Add the child in the Family space and set the ID and PIN.
  2. Give the child the ID and PIN (never the parent’s main account password).
  3. Allocate minutes, make and start plans, and check progress. See Parent proxy view.

If…

  • Cannot sign in: check the ID and PIN, the PIN length, and that you are in the App (not LINE).
  • Mixed up with a learner account: learner accounts belong to the Teaching space. See Learner accounts.
  • Forgot the PIN: the parent resets it in the Family space (follow the App).
