  3. On the inviting parent’s device, confirm the device name and parent role, then tap Approve connection.

Work together

#

Every authorized parent can manage quests, badges, rewards, approvals, gems, profiles, and devices. Each parent device has its own PIN and recovery code.

  1. Sync before making overlapping changes when you can.
  2. When a parent approves work or fulfills a reward, sync again so the other parent sees it.
  3. Keep automatic date and time enabled on each device. Offline financial actions are ordered by their timestamps when devices reconnect.
