While they have your phone or iPad, do your kids ever …

• click on advertisements?
• click on the 'home' button and are upset that there game is 'gone?'
• try to purchase 'coins' or 'points' with real money?
• post their highest score on YOUR facebook page?

Don't get frustrated ..

I just figured it out today and I love it !!

Here is the link to the Apple Article covering guided access.

What is Guided Access?

Guided access allows you to restrict the native mobile functions – 'home' button, power button, landscape mode.

Guided access can restrict areas of the screen to be disabled. 

See below to how I have restricted the top ad banner and the share button on the 'Klidescope' app.  See how I have touched the top advertisement banner and nothing happens!
