Do I make my child their own Apple ID or sign in the iPad as my own and go from there? Need help on the setup that’s best for my 7 year old but also I can monitor and control what’s going on with the iPad. Side note my child lives 2.5 hours away so it’s not like I am there to always touch the iPad but the other parent is there to help. Just want to know where to start
