How do I add or remove a child or third party account?

Child and third-party accounts are optional, free accounts that can be added and removed by either parent. You can add or remove child and third-party accounts through the OurFamilyWizard website. You cannot add or remove these accounts via the mobile app.


Creating Third-Party and Child Accounts

To create accounts for children or third-parties, such as grandparents or stepparents, log into the OurFamilyWizard website.

  1. In the main navigation menu, click My Account.
  2. On the left side of the page, click User Management.
  3. In the box titled "Child and 3rd Party Accounts," you'll see two options:
    1. Add Child: Select this option to create a child account. A name is required to create the account, however, both the phone number and email address fields are optional.
    2. Add 3rd Party: Select this option to create a third-party account. Provide the name and email address of the person you'd like to invite to the account. A phone number is optional.
  4. Click Add in the upper left-hand corner to create the account. If provided, login information will be sent immediately to their email address.

Removing Third-Party and Child Accounts

Child or third-party accounts can be deleted by either parent. To remove accounts for children or third parties, log into the OurFamilyWizard website.

  1. In the main navigation menu, click My Account.
  2. On the left side of the page, click User Management.
  3. In the box for Child and 3rd Party Accounts, look under the Actions column. You will see 3 vertical dots next to each account listed there.
  4. Click these dots and select Remove. This will remove the account's access to OurFamilyWizard.

Child and third-party accounts can be reactivated by either parent at a later time.

Third-Party and Child Account Access

Child and third-party accounts have restricted access to the information within OurFamilyWizard. These accounts allow children, grandparents, bonus parents, and other family members to:

  • View the family calendar, including parenting schedules, holidays, and public events created by parents.
  • Use the message board to send and receive messages with other users. Child and third-party accounts do not have access to the correspondence between co-parents.
  • Create journal entries, including both Moments and Check-Ins. They can also view journal entries that were shared with them.

Note: Child and third-party accounts have no access to the Calls, Expense Log, and Info Bank features of the OurFamilyWizard website and app.
