How to add children to your family account
This guide will explain how to add your children to your Sumdog family account. This process is different depending on whether your child already has a Sumdog account or not.
You can include a maximum of 3 children as part of a family account. A child account may only belong to one family. An existing student account from your child’s school may be linked to a family account.

These instructions will explain how to set up an account for your child so that you can add them to your family account.
Children cannot create their own account so you must have a parent account to create one for them. Click here for instructions on how to create a parent account. Once you add your child to your family account you will be able to set them work and view their progress.

If you are adding another child to your account, click ‘Add child’
Select ‘CREATE A LOGIN FOR MY CHILD.’
Fill in the name of your child. Only the initial of their first name and last name will appear when they are playing games on Sumdog in order to maintain privacy. If you do not want to key in their full name, you can use initials or a nickname.
Select your child’s date of birth. This is an important element of assessment used for the diagnostic test, and is kept secure and private at all times
