You’ll need to sign in with a free Amazon account, but you won’t need Prime to use the free parent tools. The Parent Dashboard is free, as is the Amazon Kids+ app for iOS and Android. Does it cost anything, and where do I get it? It’s all part of teaching your child to be self-sufficient, one step at a time. Later you let go, later still they cross the street by themselves and later still they plot their own route and eventually get around by bike, car or public transportation without parental supervision. You start by holding a young child’s hand when they cross the street. It’s like teaching your child to get around in the physical world. Eventually, your children will reach a point where you no longer need to use tools like Amazon Parent Dashboard because they will be equipped with the critical thinking skills they need to make their own decisions regarding appropriate content and screen time. The ultimate goal of the Parent Dashboard and any well-crafted parental content management tool is to help your child build up their critical thinking skills so they can make appropriate decisions as they mature.

Even with the Dashboard, it’s important for parents to talk with their children about the media they consume and be around to offer suggestions and support. No technology, including Amazon Parent Dashboard, is a substitute for parental involvement in your children’s media choices. The Parent Dashboard is a parental empowerment tool and, in a sense, a child empowerment tool, because it helps you and your child together choose appropriate media. The Parent Dashboard works with Amazon Echo speakers and displays, Kindles, Fire TV, Fire tablets and other mobile devices.

Parents use Parent Dashboard to configure age-appropriate settings, set screen time limits, monitor some of their child’s activities, and find age-appropriate books, apps, games, videos, Alexa skills and other content. Amazon Parent Dashboard is the free hub where parents and guardians manage and customize their kids’ experiences across Amazon devices and the Amazon Kids + subscription.
