Parents can create multiple child profiles to track each child's progress separately. This guide explains how to set up and manage child profiles.

## About Child Profiles

Each child profile:

* Has its own progress tracking and history
* Can be assigned to a specific grade level

You can add up to **4 child profiles** per parent account.

## Accessing Parent Profile

When switching back to your parent profile, you need to verify your identity to keep your account settings secure.

### Setting Up a Parent PIN

The first time you switch to your parent profile, you'll be prompted to set up a 4-digit PIN:

1. Enter a 4-digit numeric PIN you'll remember
2. Confirm the PIN by entering it again
3. Your PIN is now saved for future use

### Using Your PIN or Password

When switching to your parent profile:

* **Enter your PIN**: Quick 4-digit access
* **Use password instead**: Click the option to enter your full account password

<Tip>
  Choose a PIN that's easy for you to remember but not obvious to others (avoid birthdays or simple sequences like 1234).
</Tip>
