You can create a Google Account for your child under 13 (or the applicable age in your country) and manage your child’s Google Account with Family Link. With a supervised Google Account, your child gets access to Google products like Search, Chrome, and Gmail. You can set up parental controls to help supervise them.
If your child is above the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your country), they can create their own Google Account. Once your child has their own Google Account, you can add supervision and set up parental controls through Family Link. You or your child, if they’re above the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your country), can stop supervision at any time. If your child stops supervision, you'll be notified and your child’s supervised devices will be temporarily locked. Learn more about how to add and manage supervision on a current Google account.
If your child uses a Pixel Tablet and is below 9 years old, you can create a Google Account without a Gmail address and password.
If you want to add a functional Gmail address to your child's account, you can do so at any time.
Tip: You may need to add a Gmail address and password to your child's account to enable them to access certain apps and services. You can upgrade your child's account from a blocked app or through Family Link.
