Children's Accounts

What it does

Children's accounts let parents add kids to a Family group with age-appropriate money management tools — pocket money tracking, savings goals with emoji, and simplified spending categories.

For parents: setting up your child

1. Create a Family group — go to Groups → Create Group → select "Family"
2. Add a child — go to the Children tab → Add Child. Enter their name and age.
3. Set pocket money — choose an amount and frequency (weekly or monthly)
4. Set spending limits — optionally set a weekly or monthly cap
5. Create savings goals — name, target amount, and emoji (🎮 🚲 📚)
6. Log spending — for under 13s, the parent logs expenses on their behalf

For children: accessing your account

1. Sign up for Blankitt Finance at finance.blankitt.com (free — a parent helps set this up)
2. Ask your parent to link your account — they update your child entry with your email or user ID
3. Open the Family group — go to Groups from the sidebar, open the family group
4. See your dashboard — your balance, savings goals, and recent spending
5. Log your spending — tap "Log Expense" to record what you've spent
6. Add to savings goals — transfer money from your balance into your goals

Child categories

Toys & Games, Snacks & Treats, Sports & Activities, Entertainment, Hobbies, Books & Learning, Gifts for Others, Savings, Other.

How it works by age

• All children can view their balance, savings goals, and spending history
• All children can log expenses (with kid-friendly categories)
• Parents set spending limits — if a purchase would exceed the limit, it's blocked
• Parents can review all activity and manage pocket money settings
• The parent always has full visibility and control

Tips

• Pocket money auto-generates each week or month via a recurring rule
• Spending limits are enforced — purchases exceeding the limit are blocked
• Goals can have emoji for motivation and optional deadlines
• The balance tracks pocket money in minus spending and savings out
