Children can mark it done. Parents approve it.
Tapping complete should not be the end of the conversation. The review step gives you a chance to check the job, recognise genuine effort and deal with anything that still needs finishing.
The Parent PIN keeps approval and other protected actions away from the child-facing part of the app. That keeps the final decision with the adult without making the routine cumbersome.
The PIN is not there to make children ask permission for every tap. It creates a boundary around the smaller set of actions that should stay adult controlled, while children can still use their normal task view and mark work ready for review.
Quick questions
What is the Parent PIN used for during approval?
It protects approval and other adult-only actions while leaving the everyday child task view easier to use.
Can a child bypass the parent approval step?
No. Children can record that a chore is complete, but final approval remains protected for the parent.
Does using a PIN make every approval slow?
No. The protected boundary keeps the decision with the adult, while the approval itself is designed to remain a quick check.
