Click the child's Messenger Kids account. You'll see a list of all the Messenger Kids accounts you manage under "Accounts you manage."

Click the Controls tab. It's under their cover photo.

Click your name under "Parents/Guardians." A new window will pop up.

Click Add additional parent or guardian. This person will be able to see and manage everything that Messenger Kids account can do.

Click Add. Click Done to close the window. You can also click Remove after you've added someone as a parent or guardian to revoke their role.
