In the New Account pane, fill in the name and password you want your child to have.
>
Because the account name and short name are used in OS X for many purposes and may show up during Internet use, do not include your kids’ last name on the account. An alternative for kids who are very young is to combine a name and number from two different parts of their lives, such as a character from a favorite story and their room number in school.

Because this is an account for a child, select Managed with Parental Controls from the New Account drop-down list.
>
Other account options include Standard and Administrator. Don’t give your kids administrative privileges. This does mean they will ask you occasionally to enter your password so that they can do something that requires these privileges, such as installing some downloaded software. You want to know about these things.

The Parental Controls System pane appears, with tabs for several other panes: System, Content, Mail & iChat, Time Limits, and Logs. Each pane has settings that let you sculpt your child’s computer and Internet usage.

7
Go to each pane and set up the controls for the account.
>
By logging on as the administrator under your own account, you can return to the Parental Controls settings to adjust them if needed. Just open System Preferences from the Apple menu.
