    Hi Boardies, I bought a samgsung tablet for my 9 yr old son during the recent sales. I am just wondering should i set up a google account for him gmail etc..even thought he wont have access to it or passwords for the purpose of using playstore and downloading the games/apps he plays. I have my own google account but dont want all my apps on his new tablet, or is there a better way to set this up? not very tech savy

    Looks like Google has a solution for this called Family Link.

    Not familiar with it myself but will hopefully point you in the right direction.
