How to use Guided Access settings on the iPad

By Emily On June 25, 2015 · Add Comment

In my house, using the iPad is an earned privilege. But guess what? Kids will be kids, and inevitably I’ll find one of them tucked quietly in a corner playing something they shouldn’t anyways. So I’ve learned how to use Guided Access and Restrictions to make sure my kids aren’t looking at things that aren’t allowed. Guided Access works for temporarily limiting kiddos to playing only one app on a device (like your personal iPhone or iPad). We’ve covered Restrictions, which are best for devices that your kids use most – read our walk-through here. Set up Guided Access Tap Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access to set up Guided Access. From there, here’s what you can do: Turn Guided Access on or off Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving an active session Set whether the device can [...]

As a stay-at-home mom, I wear many hats: Cook, housekeeper, nanny, teacher, handyman, pet sitter, and toxic waste handler, just to name a few. Ask my 5-year-old and 2-year-old what my main job is, and they’ll tell you my sole purpose in life is to get them in trouble. In their eyes, there is nothing I love more than to put them in time out. I am The Bad Guy. Dad, on the other hand, is The Good Guy. He’s the best toy ever invented. During the couple hours my children see their father before bedtime, they want nothing more than to play with him nonstop. As far as they are concerned, this is Dad’s purpose, his reason for being.
