How Parent Approval Works
A step-by-step guide to what happens after a child requests a message, trade, listing, or purchase.
From child request to final decision
A quick visual way to understand how the safety step works in practice.
Safety step
1. Child starts an action
A child taps buy, trade, publish, or send message and the app turns that into a parent request instead of completing it immediately.
Safety step
2. Parent gets the context
The request shows what the child is asking for, who it involves, and any caution signals worth reviewing.
Safety step
3. Parent approves or declines
Parents can say yes, say no, or pause for a conversation before the action moves forward.
Safety step
4. The child sees the outcome
The app reflects the final decision so the child understands whether the action is going ahead or needs to stop.
What families should know
Which actions usually need approval
High-impact actions like messaging, purchases, trades, and listings are the main approval checkpoints because they can involve money, communication, or other people.
Why some requests show caution labels
A caution label does not mean a child did something wrong. It simply points parents toward higher-spend items, unusual requests, or details that deserve a second look.
What children learn from the flow
The approval flow helps kids practice patience, explain what they want clearly, and understand that online actions can have real-world consequences.
