Edit the family, the child, and the family languages

Goal: the basics are right. Parents only.

Family#

  1. Go to Settings › Family.
  2. Edit Family name and Timezone (an IANA name such as Asia/Kuala_Lumpur).
  3. Under Family languages, tick every language the family uses; at least one must stay. Choose the Family default language from those.
  4. Tap Save.

The timezone decides when reminders fire and which day an entry belongs to.

Child#

  1. Go to Settings › Children.
  2. Edit Name in each family language, the Date of birth, and the Photo.
  3. Tap Save. The age band (2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6) follows the date of birth and drives activities, targets, and checks.

Add another child creates a second profile; it becomes the active child.

FAQ

What are family languages for?

They decide which scripts the child's name is collected in and which language the family uses when a screen needs one. They are separate from the language plan that counts hours.

Can I add a second child?

Yes, from Settings › Children › Add another child. A child selector appears on child-scoped screens when there is more than one.
