How to create an Apple ID for your child

It is far from being just you and I read the stories of unhappy parents whose children, having retired from the iOS-device, spent fabulous sums on applications and games. Fortunately, Apple thought about resolving these problems in the new version of iOS added option "Family Access", where members of the family (up to 6 people) can use a single purchase at all. Taken care of the naughty children who spend a parent credit money, service integration in the so-called "Apple ID for your child." Let's see how it works and what you need to do to set it up.

To configure the access of the family I have I told in a previous article, but what is the difference between normal, "parent" Apple ID, from him, but for the child? It's very simple: Apple ID for their offspring can create only the organizer of the family access, confirming your payment information with the attached card CVV code. In addition, only the organizer can put right other family members to request confirmation of the purchase content child. "Children" is ID can not make purchases with the card without special approval from the organizer and / or family members who are allowed to give the appropriate permissions. In other words, even if your child is using Family Access, make purchases, he will not be able, when so desired. Instead, parents will receive a notification with a request from the child, he wants to buy, and, accordingly, the request can be approved (by writing off money from the card) or reject.

Now let's see, how do you create Apple ID for your child:

1) Open the Settings app and select iCloud item (remember that you need to be organized Family Access).
2) Select the "Family" and scroll to the bottom.
3) Click on "Create Apple ID for your child."
4) On the screen that opens the settings, click "Next" pre-reading capabilities of the service.
5) Set the date of birth of the child. This action will automatically hide from the eyes of the child applications that do not fit his age restrictions.
6) Confirm the CVV-code your billing information.
7) Enter a name and the name of his son or daughter.
8) Think of his e-mail address on icloud.com
9) And finally, set and confirm the password.
10) Next, you will need to choose three security questions and ask for answers to recover the ID in case of loss / theft.
11) On the next screen, check the "Ask to Buy" to purchase before you come to a corresponding request from the child.
12) You can then switch the setting to "share geopozitsiey" to track the location of his child via the "Find the iPhone" app, "My Friends" and "Messages".

In this all new Apple ID for your child created. You have to either enter his credentials to the device belonging to him, or to transfer the data. Now, whenever you try to purchase an app and / or game (including built-purchase), you will come to an appropriate request, which you can approve or reject.

In my opinion, this is an excellent solution to many problems for parents. I stood to applaud such Apple's approach to such a serious issue. And you use the family access to your iOS-device and whether already had to deal with unwanted purchases, committed by the children? Tell us in the comments!
