and
GOLDEN
RULES

2. • With
its
great
mulBmedia,
gaming,
and
Internet
features,
the
iPad,
iPod
and
iPhone
are
loved
by
kids
and
teens
the
world
over-­‐-­‐and
many
ask
for
it
as
a
present
for
holidays
or
birthdays.
• Parents
want
to
oblige
but
may
also
have
some
concerns
about
giving
their
kids
unsupervised
access
to
the
Internet.
If
you're
in
that
situaBon,
this
arBcle
offers
the
steps
to
take
before
giving
your
child
an
iPod
touch
or
iPhone.
• WHEN
GIVING
YOUR
CHILD
AN
IPHONE,
IPAD
OR
SO,
YOU
SHOULD
MAKE
SURE
YOUR
KID
IS
SAFE
AND
FOLLOWS
THIS
RULES
• First
you
will
have
to
configure
your
iphone
to
be
child
safety,
if
you
don’t
worried
to
do
so,
don’t
read
any
more,
you
are
an
irresponsible
parent,
but,
if
you
really
want
to
protect
your
kid,
this
is
the
first
thing
to
do.

3. IPHONE
AND
IPAD
SAFETY
1.
Create
an
Apple
ID
for
Kid
•
The
iPod
touch
and
iPhone
require
an
Apple
ID
(aka
an
iTunes
account)
for
set
up
and
to
allow
the
user
to
download
music,
movies,
apps,
or
other
content
from
the
iTunes
Store.
The
Apple
ID
is
also
used
for
features
like
iMessage,
FaceTime,
and
Find
My
iPhone.
You'll
probably
want
your
child
to
have
their
own
account
to
ensure
that
purchases
don't
get
billed
to
your
account.
•
If
your
child
has
their
own
computer,
you
can
set
the
account
up
there
and
leave
them
logged
in.
If
your
family
shares
one
computer,
you
can
set
it
up
there,
too.
Just
remember
that
each
person
should
log
out
of
their
Apple
ID
when
they're
done.
2.
Set
Up
iPod
touch
or
iPhone
•
With
the
iTunes
account
created,
you'll
want
to
set
up
the
device.
•
If
you're
seZng
the
device
up
on
a
shared
family
computer,
there
are
a
few
seZngs
to
take
note
of.
In
the
Info
tab,
you'll
want
to
make
sure
to
only
sync
an
address
book
specific
to
your
child
(rather
than,
say,
all
of
your
business
contacts),
a
calendar
specific
to
your
child,
and
be
sure
not
to
sync
your
email
accounts
to
the
device
to
prevent
them
from
reading
or
replying
to
your
email.
•
If
your
child
has
their
own
email
account,
you
can
sync
it
(or
create
one
for
them
to
sync).

AND
IPAD
SAFETY
3.
Set
Passcode
A
passcode
is
a
great
way
to
protect
an
iPod
touch
or
iPhone.
It's
a
security
code
that
you
or
your
child
will
have
to
enter
every
Bme
you
want
to
use
the
device.
You'll
want
one
of
these
in
place
in
case
your
kid
loses
the
device-­‐-­‐you
wouldn't
want
a
stranger
to
get
access
to
any
family
informaBon
(more
on
dealing
with
a
lost
or
stolen
device
in
the
next
step).
Make
sure
to
use
a
passcode
that
both
you
and
your
child
can
remember.
It's
possible
to
reset
an
iPod
touch
with
a
lost
passcode,
but
why
put
yourself
in
a
situaBon
to
need
to
do
that?

4.
Configure
Find
My
iPhone
If
your
child
loses
their
iPod
touch
or
iPhone,
or
has
it
stolen,
you're
not
necessarily
going
to
be
forced
to
buy
a
new
one-­‐-­‐not
if
you've
got
Find
My
iPhone,
that
is.
Find
My
iPhone
(which
also
works
for
the
iPod
touch
and
iPad)
is
a
web-­‐based
service
from
Apple
that
uses
the
built-­‐in
LocaBon
Services
features
of
the
devices
to
help
you
track
the
lost
device.
You
can
also
lock
the
device
remotely
or
delete
all
its
data
over
the
Internet.

Set
Content
RestricEons
Apple
has
built
tools
into
the
iOS-­‐-­‐the
operaBng
system
to
let
parents
control
content
and
apps
their
children
can
access.
Use
the
Content
RestricBons
to
protect
your
kids
from
inappropriate
content
and
from
doing
things
like
having
video
chats
(innocent
enough
with
friends,
but
certainly
not
with
strangers)
If
your
child
has
their
own
computer,
you
may
also
want
to
consider
using
the
Parental
Controls
built
into
iTunes
also
to
prevent
them
from
accessing
mature
material
at
the
iTunes
Store.
If
the
family
shares
one
computer,
check
out
this
arBcle
for
Bps
on
how
to
have
mulBple
Parental
Control
seZngs
on
the
same
computer.
To
set
up
RestricEons,
open
the
SeHngs
app
and
navigate
to
General
>
RestricEons.
Enable
RestricEons
and
you’ll
be
prompted
to
create
a
PIN
that
you’ll
need
whenever
you
change
your
RestricEons
seHngs.
.
Be
sure
to
use
a
different
passcode
than
the
one
used
in
step
3.
Disable:
Safari
and
Installing
Apps.
This
will
prevent
your
kid
to
see
stuff
you
don’t
allow
him
to
or
to
have
access
to
search
engines
that
can
put
him
in
danger.
You
can
let
your
kid
do
some
Internet
search,
but
ONLY
with
a
supervise
adult.
So
is
be_er
to
have
the
family
computer
on
a
specific
transit
space
of
your
home.

From

and
customize
the
types

Tap
the

Other
seZngs
allow

For
example,
you
could
prevent

accounts
on
the

you
can
prevent
your

Guided

to
only
run
a
specific
educaBonal
app
or
game
and
then
hand
it
to
your

They’d

to
use
that
specific
app.
When
they’re
done,
you
can
unlock
the

with
a
PIN
you
set,
allowing
you
to
use
it
normally.
To

from
iTunes

breaking
your

Create

This

a
pre-­‐defined
amount
of
money
(from
US$10

$50)
every
month
to
spend

This

is

I

I

see
it
promptly
at
7:30

(
Consider
having
a
centralized

place
for
the

to
charge
up

There
are
lots
of

Someday

to
do
this
despite
your
high

It
is
risky

could
ruin
your

It

Be
careful
about
any
apps
you
download

While
most
apps
are
fine,
there
are
some
that
pose
security
and
privacy
risks.
Read
the

your

All
searching

lake
Google

keep
a

can
