Open **My Children**.

1. Click **Add Child**.
2. Enter your child's **First name** and **Last name**.
3. Choose a **Login Method**. Your child gets into their account through you switching into it:
   - **Pinless**: no PIN needed. Good for young children.
   - **Master PIN**: your own PIN.
   - **Child PIN**: their own 4-digit PIN. Your Master PIN still works.
4. Save.

Your child now has their own practice, progress and rewards.

## Switching into your child's account

Click **Switch** next to your child. You may be asked for a PIN. Come back by switching out of their account. See [PINs and switching accounts](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-surepass/article/sp-pins-and-switching-accounts.md).

## Changing the login method or PIN

Click **Controls** on your child's row, choose the login method, and set a new PIN if needed.

## Removing a child

Click **Remove**. This **permanently deletes** the account and everything recorded against it: practice history and results, XP, rank and rewards, typing progress, activity history, and circle connections. It cannot be undone.
