How do I manage more than one child with Skie?

Skie for Parents · Updated

Short answer

Give each child their own device and their own profile on the same family account. You manage all of them from one dashboard, with different apps, windows and safe zones for each. Each child's phone or tablet is set up once. Pricing for more than one child is on request.

Families with two or three children usually want the rules to differ by age, and Skie handles that. The dashboard shows each child as a separate card with their own device, apps, schedules and location.

A ten year old might have a short app list, a study window from six to eight and a bedtime at nine. A fifteen year old might have a wider list, a later bedtime and the same adult-site filter. Changing one child's rules does not touch the other's.

Each child needs a device. It can be a phone for one and a tablet for another, since phones and tablets are managed the same way. Each device is set up once with the Provision app or a computer and cable, and each uses one seat.

Both parents can have access to the dashboard, so either can lock a device or check where it is.

When a child grows out of a device, you can reassign it to the next child. The dashboard moves the profile, clears the old child's data and keeps the device history.

Tip: name the profiles clearly, for example by first name and device, so that when you are rushed you lock the right one. Pricing for several children is on request, so ask when you enquire.
