Managing Your Child's Contact List
Each child's contact list is managed by his or her parents.

to the right of your child's name. 
Your name and the names of any other children you have registered for Kid Connect will appear at the top of your child's contact list in the "Immediate Family" section. These contacts are automatically added when you register and cannot be removed. If you add any other contacts to your child's list, they will appear in the "Other Family & Friends" section below.
