# How to add, edit or remove a child

Tap Add Child on the dashboard, enter a name, then tap Save. To edit or remove a child, open them and tap the three dots at the top right, then choose Edit or Delete.

Each child has their own activities, reminders, progress and settings.
The free plan includes 1 child of your own; Premium lets you add as many as you need.

## Add a child

1. Tap **Add Child** on the dashboard.
   The first time, the button is **Add Your First Child**.
   You can also tap the child's name at the top of a child's screen, then **Add Child**.
2. Tap the camera circle to add a photo with **Camera** or **Gallery** (optional).
3. Enter the child's **Name**.
4. Choose a **Gender** and set a **Birthday** (both optional).
5. Tap **Save**.

On the free plan, if you already have a child of your own, tapping **Add Child** opens the upgrade screen.
Children in a family member's account that you help with don't count toward this limit.

## Switch between children

1. On a child's screen, tap the child's name at the top.
2. Tap another child in the list.

To open the same child every time you start the app, go to that child's **Settings** tab and turn on **Set As Default**.
This is saved on this phone only.

## Edit a child

Only the account owner can edit a child.

1. Open the child, then tap the three dots at the top right.
2. Tap **Edit**.
3. Change the photo, **Name**, **Gender** or **Birthday**.
4. Tap **Save**.

You can also ask the assistant to update a name, birthday or gender; see [How to use the Potty Whiz Assistant](https://www.kidplay.ai/help/how-to-use-the-potty-whiz-assistant).

## Add care notes

Care notes help grandparents, sitters and daycare know your child's routine.

1. Open the child and go to the **Care & Info** tab.
2. Tap **Care Notes**, then tap **Edit**.
3. Type your notes, for example "Likes to go after breakfast".
4. Tap **Save**.

## Remove a child

Only the account owner can remove a child.

1. Open the child, then tap the three dots at the top right.
2. Tap **Delete**.
3. The dialog asks, for example, "Remove Emma?" and warns "Associated activities will also be deleted!"
4. Tap **Yes**.

The child and all of their activities are removed for everyone on your team.

## Troubleshooting

- **"A Name is Required"** or **"The Name is Not Long Enough"**: enter a name with at least 2 letters.
- **I don't see the three dots**: the child belongs to someone else's account, so only that account's owner can edit or remove them.
- **The upgrade screen opens when I add a second child**: the free plan includes 1 child of your own.
