Adding your kids unlocks per-child views, school email matching, and birthday reminders.

What this does

  • Records each child's name, school, grade, and birth year.
  • Lets you choose an avatar — photo, or a colour and initial.
  • Powers the Children tab and email auto-matching.

When to use this

  • During first-day setup.
  • When a new sibling arrives.
  • When a child changes school or moves up a grade.

How it works

  1. Open Settings → Children.
  2. Tap Add child.
  3. Enter their name, school, grade, and (optionally) birth year.
  4. Pick an avatar — photo or a colour + initial.
  5. Save.

Important things to know

  • Children are shared across your household — both parents see and edit the same list.
  • Birth year is optional but unlocks better birthday handling.
  • Updating school or grade improves how Bubsby matches incoming school emails.

Common questions

  • Can I add a child without a school? Yes — the school field is optional.
  • What if my child is between grades? Use the grade you most often refer to.
  • Will my child see their own data? Only if you give them their own account in your household with the Child role.
