Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor. Here’s how to give your child their own login, and what your consent covers.
When your child is ready to study on their own, Create login on their card turns the profile into an account.
It needs an email address, which can be one you control, and a password of at least eight characters.
Then comes your consent, in plain words: that you are their parent or legal guardian, and agree to the account.
Create login stays switched off until you tick it, and the server refuses any request that arrives without your consent.
It makes a real account linked to yours, records who consented and when, and leaves you signed in as yourself.
Once a login exists, the card says Login active, shows when they last practised, and opens their own page.
To take it back, Delete account closes their account at once, and you can restore it from the card for thirty days.
And a child’s account can’t buy anything, can’t agree to research for itself, and can’t message anyone but you in private.
That’s a login of their own: your consent first, then their own account, with you still their guardian.
