  2. Press and hold the lock icon for two seconds to reveal the parent access prompt.

  6. Use the slider to adjust the remaining time or click End Now to stop the session immediately.

  7. Click Update Time to save your changes.

  8. To return to the playspace, click Back to [Child’s Name]’s Session.
