Hi FrustratedDad87! Setting up HBO Max parental controls can be tricky. Here’s a checklist to help secure things:

1. Create separate kid profiles: In your HBO Max account, set up profiles for each child using the “Kid” option.

2. PIN protection: Set a secure, hard-to-guess PIN for both profile management and switching to adult profiles—this prevents easy bypassing.

3. Profile restrictions: Double-check the content age ratings for each kid profile to ensure only appropriate shows are accessible.

4. Regular updates: Kids are tech-savvy—review your settings often to ensure they haven’t changed.

5. Sign out of other devices: Make sure your account isn’t signed in elsewhere, which could provide a backdoor.
