I love the fact that you have a shared contact book for all my kids. That does simplify things. It would be really helpful if you could add an option to manage the other settings across all my kids. The biggest area where I'm seeing this is the "Safety Settings" screen.
I can think of three approaches for this:
1) At the bottom of each setting screen in addition to the "Save Setting" button that you have there now, add a "Save and Apply to ALL Children" button. This would probably be the most straightforward way to implement.
2) In addition to being able to choose each child, you could have a "Default" child. You would then generally manage the settings you want to use for "Default". Looking at any management screen for a specific child would then say "Using Default Settings" with an option to "override". Once you override for a specific child, you can then edit the settings. There would also need to be an option to turn off the override and go back to the default.
3) Add "All Children" as a selection in the drop-down child-selector box. Because a particular setting might vary across children, you'd also need to add a "mixed" indicator of some type for each option to show that this particular setting is different for different children. Choosing a different option would then force them to all be the same.
Thanks
