It may seem that Apple company focuses on this segment of the market. However, the point is that any iPad can be turned into the perfect device for kids. In this article, we'll show you how to set up an iPad for a child.
The simplest and most effective iPad or iPhone feature for parents is Guide access. The essence of this function is that the child will be able to work only within the framework of the program previously launched by the parent, moreover, you can limit the screen area that will be available for pressing: for example, you can disable some keys in programs.

In Guided Access, you can set and time to work in one application or another. And also set up a voice and sound signal after the end of the time. This will allow parents to precisely control the time that their child spends with a mobile device. 
How to set up Guided Access
Getting started with Guided Access is easy:

V iOS settings there is an item Restrictions. It will be useful for those parents who leave their children a tablet for a long time, but at the same time are worried about their safety. In this settings section, you can prohibit certain actions within the iOS system, as well as hide some applications from children's eyes.
To get started, just like when using guided access, you need to come up with a password.
Then in the list allow you can disable some applications and iOS features. This feature will be very appropriate if the device is used by children - in particular in-app purchases.After all, as you know, quite a lot of parents are committed by children. 
In chapter age limit you can restrict children's access to "adult" content - "obscene" songs or films. The options will be especially useful. Programs and Web sites.
In the programs section, with the help of checkboxes, you can mark only programs that are allowed for a certain age category, while all other applications will be hidden with iPad screen or iPhone. By the way, you can disable the use of any third party programs using the option ban allON.

More stringent control is provided by the option − Only specified websites. Here, parents themselves will be able to provide access only to certain Internet resources.
By the way, many readers are probably wondering what to do with third-party web browsers for iOS, such as Chrome. The answer is simple - according to the rules App Store any Internet browser is marked as an application for an audience of 17+, and accordingly, when using the restrictions option - Applications, discussed earlier - they will be automatically hidden from the screen of the iOS device.
More than once, we have read stories about unfortunate parents whose children, secluded with an iOS device, spent fabulous sums on applications and games. Fortunately, Apple has thought about resolving such problems in new version iOS has added a “Family Sharing” option where family members (up to 6 people) can use one purchase for all. They also took care of playful children who spent parental money from a credit card by integrating the so-called “Apple ID for a child” into the service. Let's see how it works and what needs to be done to set it up.
I already talked about setting up family access itself in one of the previous articles, but how does the usual, “parental” Apple ID differ from it, but for a child? Everything is very simple: only the organizer of family access can create an Apple ID for his child by confirming his payment information from the linked card with a CVV code. In addition, only the organizer can assign rights to other family members to approve child content purchase requests. A “Children's” ID, on the other hand, cannot make purchases from the card without special approval from the organizer and / or a family member who is allowed to give the appropriate permissions. In other words, even if your child is using Family Sharing, they won't be able to make purchases whenever they want. Instead, parents will receive a notification with a request from the baby what he wants to purchase, and, accordingly, this request can be approved (by deducting money from the card) or rejected.
Now let's see how an Apple ID is created for a child:
1) Open the Settings app and select iCloud (remember that you must be the Family Sharing host).
2) Select "Family" and scroll to the bottom of the page.
3) Click on "Create an Apple ID for a child".
4) On the settings screen that opens, click “Next”, after reading about the possibilities of the service.
5) Set the baby's date of birth. This action will automatically hide from the eyes of the child applications that are not suitable for him according to age restrictions.
6) Confirm your payment information with a CVV code.
7) Enter the first and last name of your son or daughter.
8) Give him an address Email on icloud.com
9) Finally, set and confirm his password.
10) Next, you will need to select three security questions and set answers to them to restore the ID in case it is lost / stolen.
11) On the next screen, turn on the “Ask to buy” option so that you receive a corresponding request from the child before buying.
12) You can then turn on the "Share Location" setting to track your child's location through the Find My iPhone, My Friends, and Messages apps.

Congratulations! You have successfully created an Apple ID for your child, you can now activate your child's iPhone or iPad. If you have any questions or just want to add something, write in the comments.
Leaving your child alone with a personal phone, you risk not only getting a bill for a few fresh games from the App Store TOP, but also missing personal applications, contacts, or even mail accounts.
Luckily, Apple has come up with some cool features that can help keep sensitive information out of the hands of curious kids while still allowing them to play and enjoy their favorite apps on your personal phone.
All the "childish" features of iOS fit well into two simple recommendations, which will be discussed now.
1. Use Passcode/Touch ID/Face ID
The password to turn on the device is useful if your child decides to take a phone or tablet without your knowledge. You can set the combination in Settings ▸ General ▸ Password protection.
And, if you do not want the little child prodigy (and any other person) to be able to pick up the right sequence, then follow the simple rules:
- Avoid ascending sequences and keyboard patterns (1245, 2580, 3698...);
- avoid digital patterns (8585, 6969, 4567...);
- avoid any dates like DDMM, DDMM, MMYY, etc.
Be sure to make sure that the "Erase data" function is disabled. If this is not done, then the iPhone or iPad will self-clean after 10 incorrect input attempts. As practice shows, stubborn children get to this value very quickly.
Use Guided Access
Guided Access is ideal for when you need to leave your child alone. It will easily lock the device to the selected program or game, from which it will be impossible to exit without knowing the secret digital combination.
The iPhone or iPad will simply stop responding to any hardware button presses or gestures. You can pre-enable it in Settings ▸ General ▸ Accessibility ▸ Guided Access.
Turn on Guided Access so that iPhone only works with one app or game When you activate Guided Access, you can disable hardware buttons, block rotation, and even a specific area on the screen. A couple of simple steps and you will no longer worry that instead of reading Cinderella, he will get into your Instagram.
In conclusion
By following just these two tips, you will make your iPhone or iPad as convenient and safe as possible for your child. And of course, do not forget about a good case and a protective film on the screen. Without them, children's games can cost you a tidy sum.
