Open Family space

Parents open Family to manage children and the minutes pool.

Family space lets parents manage child accounts, allocate practice minutes, and proxy-view progress. Built for coaching at home—not homework policing.

Steps

  1. Sign in with your personal main account (not a child account).
  2. Open Me → Switch spaces.
  3. Tap Open for Family (follow the prompt if it isn’t open yet).
  4. Then use Me → Family to manage members.
  5. Create child accounts.
  6. Allocate practice minutes.

You can also use the “Open · Switch spaces” tile under Me, then choose Family.

After opening

  • Manage child accounts and PIN policy (as shown in the UI)
  • Allocate Family pool minutes
  • Proxy-view practice and plan progress
  • Family messages

When you don’t need it

  • You’re only practicing yourself
  • You’re a teacher with learners → open Teaching

If…

  • A child wants to open Family: They can’t—parent main account only.
  • Can’t find Open: Confirm main-account login and check Me → Switch spaces.
