Family overview

For parents· 2 min read

How the parent surface is organised — multiple children, one active learner at a time, shared token wallet.

The Family surface is your home base as a parent. From here you add children, set their PINs, top up the wallet, and switch the active learner — the child whose progress the rest of the app scopes to.

The model

One parent account per phone number.
Multiple children under that account.
One active learner at a time. The active learner pill at the top of every screen shows whose data is currently in scope.
One shared token wallet for the whole family — while it holds tokens, Premium is on for every child (1 token per child per day).

What you see on Family

Token wallet card at the top — balance (with its KES equivalent), how many children it's currently funding, days of premium remaining, and the Top Up button.
Per-child cards — for each child: name, grade, plan badge, recent activity, CEA count, plus the PIN and Controls chips.
Add Child button in the top bar — opens the create-form.

Switching active learner

Switch the active learner from the learner pill in the top bar — not from the Family child cards. The switch is instant; every other screen (home, library, CEAs) re-scopes to that child immediately.

Sign-in flow for children

Children sign in using your phone number, then pick their name from the list, then enter their 4-digit PIN. Each child's PIN is independent — siblings can't sign in as each other.

Common issues

My child's screen looks the same as mine. You're seeing the parent view scoped to that child. Children have their own sign-in (your phone → child picker → PIN) and a student-only chrome.
The wallet is empty. Premium pauses for everyone when the wallet hits 0. Top up and it switches back on immediately; in-progress CEAs keep working during the pause.
