They want their iPhone to help pass time, but something&#8217;s wrong. A storm is brewing. They left their iPhone at home. So, what does your kid do? Starts to throw a fit, because they want \u2014 no, they <em>need<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em>\u2014\u00a0to play their favorite game! They want <a title=\"LeapFrog Learning Path\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/leapfrog-learning-path\/id731118789?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">LeapFrog<\/a> and they want it <em>now<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And so it begins: The mother of all tantrums.<\/p>\n<p>But, wait! You have an iPhone, too. And you didn&#8217;t leave it at home. Yet, like many parents with unprotected phones, you hesitate to hand it over to your child; you never know what your kid may find or do with your\u00a0iPhone. Fortunately, we&#8217;ve created the perfect solution, called KidSet. With KidSet, you can hand your iPhone to your child\u00a0\u2014 worry free.<\/p>\n<p>KidSet comes with the <a title=\"Family Protector  \" href=\"https:\/\/www.intego.com\/family-protector\" target=\"_blank\">Family Protector app<\/a> and allows you to quickly assign your own device to your child with just a few taps. This app is not required to use with Family Protector, however, it gives you fast options when you need it most. Like when your child is in meltdown mode and\u00a0wants to use your\u00a0iOS mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>To use KidSet on the device you want to hand your child, simply tap the\u00a0KidSet\u00a0icon, choose which child you wish to assign the device\u00a0to, and use your login, your passcode, or your fingerprint to authorize the change. This prevents your child\u00a0from assigning the device to a higher level of permission themselves and drastically reduces the amount of time it takes you to assign the device to your child.<\/p>\n<p>Want to see just how easy it is to assign a device to your child with parental control settings appropriate for their age?
