  • Primary language: We’ll show your child content in this language.
  • Sound effects: Choose whether you’d like your child to hear celebratory sounds when they achieve something.
  • Video auto-continue: Choose whether you'd like the next video to automatically start playing after watching the last one.
  • Password: Change your child’s password.
