As a father of 4 I don't want to have to create 4 separate email addresses and keep track of them just to sign my kids up. I would love for a way to create kids accounts that are accessible through my main account with the option to split them off into a full account when they are ready to take over managing their own accounts.

It would be SUBSTANTIALLY more work to build that feature than for parents to just create an email address for each of their children, sorry 🙂

Use the "." Trick.

When you register on a website. The system sees this as a different address.
You will still get the email to the main email address but it will be different address when you register.
Simple and easy.

I don't believe that works. You might be thinking of using "+" sign but that is not supported by Beltchecker.

I just tested it and it works (the account is Spoof Test). I can also confirm the '+' sign trick doesn't work as I tried it when I registered my true account.

Most systems register the period as a character but if they are using a Gmail address it registers the address synonymously. That was there way for you to use your email address and filter spam by that address alone without having to create another.
If you have a Gmail account try emailing yourself but put a period in the address before the domain and it will still come through as if it wasn't there.

Oh well, I learned something new today 🙂 I’ve only ever done this with + sign for gmail. For instance [email protected] will also go to [email protected].
So yes I guess using dots in a gmail address will work for parents who want multiple accounts using the “same” email 🙂 👍🏻

Looks like a youtube instructional on it is in order, for those parents that are not in the know how.
My daughter is already setup, so to me it's not a big deal, but some parents might find it useful
