Share the screen without sharing the controls
A parent-owned device can be handed over briefly for a child to check tasks or mark something complete. That should not give them access to protected settings.
The Parent PIN separates the everyday child view from approvals and management tools. You can share the useful part of the app without handing over control of the family system.
That boundary matters when the same phone passes between parent and child. The child can interact with the routine intended for them, while actions that change the setup or confirm progress remain on the protected adult side.
Quick questions
Can children use Parent Quest on my device instead of owning one?
Yes. A child can use their profile on the parent-owned device without needing a separate phone.
Does using my device mean the child needs their own login?
No. Child profiles remain inside the parent-managed setup and do not require individual email-based accounts.
How does the parent keep control when sharing the device?
Protected parent actions remain separate from the child-facing routine, with the adult controlling settings, approval and rewards.
