Managing a Child with Shared Parenting
A Shared Parent is another adult in a different home with their own Family Zone account. When this child returns to Shared Parent's home, that Parent uses these steps to manage the Child's monitoring.
On the primary Parent's iPhone or iPad:
- Sign into to the Family Zone app as a Parent
- In Family, tap on the Managed by ... status
- Tap TAKE BACK CONTROL
In this example, the other Parent has a Premium Membership and sees the Routine - Play, Study, School or Sleep would be displayed in the status. An Insights Member only sees the status of Active.
What is a parent versus a shared parent?
A parent in Connect is a guardian in the home who is allowed to change the monitoring settings and edit family details.
A shared parent in Connect is a guardian typically outside the parent home with a separate Family Zone account with different monitoring rules for a child's activity.
A parent or shared parent can be any guardian, such as grandparents or babysitters.
Adding or removing parent or shared parent access uses the Family menu. The first parent (primary parent) adds shared parents through the family section.
