The family workspace is four tabs in the red banner, and between them they answer the three questions a parent actually has: is anyone studying, is it going anywhere, and what should they do next.

- Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor. Here’s how to follow your child’s progress, shown with a demonstration parent and her daughter.
- Your Family tab shows each child, and for one with their own login, when they last practised and on how many days this week.
- Select Stats for their own record: lessons completed, their streak, XP, this week’s study time and the day they last practised.
- Underneath, how far through each HSK level they are, counted the same way as on their own lessons page.
- Explore lists everything they can practise, from lessons and flashcards to listening, reading, speaking and writing, so you can preview any of it.
- In the Learning Lab, Family gives each child a card of their own, and never averages two children together.
- Their own page starts with where they are: what they recognise, what they can say and write, and what has stuck.
- Then what would help them most, in plain words. When nothing stands out, it says so rather than inventing a problem; when something does, the evidence is written underneath.
- And under Activity, when they practised across the day, and how close each skill is to the Lab’s threshold.
- That’s the family view: live figures in your dashboard, and a page of their own for each child in the Learning Lab.

The four tabs
- Family — Every child in one place — for each with their own login, when they last practised and how many days this week, and a way into their own page. The tab to check on a Sunday evening.
- Stats — Per-child progress for a child with their own login: lessons completed, streak, XP, this week’s study time, and how far through each HSK level they are.
- Explore — A launcher of things worth suggesting. The answer to "they have twenty minutes, what should they do".
- Guide — A parent-specific version of the in-app guide, plus a way through to this help centre.
Each opens over whatever page you are on, so checking costs you nothing.
Looking at one child
From Family, Open their page gives a single child’s own view: an overview of where they are, their activity over time — when they studied, and how each skill is moving — and an ethics panel that states plainly what is being measured about them and what is not.
That last one is worth reading once, and worth showing to a child who asks. It is the same boundary described in safety and what you can see.
Reading it usefully
- Check weekly, not daily — A week shows a pattern. A day shows noise, and daily checking turns a dashboard into surveillance for both of you.
- Look at consistency before volume — Four short sessions beat one long one, and the streak tells you that faster than the XP does.
- Notice what changed — A week with fewer days than usual, or a level that has stopped moving, usually means a specific thing you can help with in five minutes.
- Use Explore instead of nagging — A concrete twenty-minute suggestion lands better than "have you done your Chinese", and the tab exists to produce one.
The weekly report
The Family plan includes a weekly summary by email, so you can follow along without opening the dashboard at all. It is a digest rather than an alert — no notification when a child misses a day.
You can turn it off in your notification settings without losing the dashboard.
Common questions
The **Family** tab in the red banner, on a parent account. It swaps in automatically once your account type is parent — you do not enable it.
