"At this point, you can have your kid put it on (if it's charged). The watch will say Bring iPhone Near Apple Watch. If you open the Watch app, it lets you choose to Set Up for a Family Member. Aim the phone's viewfinder at the slowly moving animation to pair, or select Pair Manually. Apple's tutorial is pretty straightforward from this point. I picked a passcode that's easy for my daughter to remember and picked her from my family list. I continued cellular service."
"Then I set up all the usual features and services for an Apple Watch, including Ask to Buy so she couldn't buy anything from the app store without my permission, Messages, and Emergency SOS. I also chose to limit my daughter's contacts on the watch. First, go to Settings > iCloud > Contacts on your phone and make sure it's toggled on."
Unpairing may not always erase an Apple Watch, so use Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings on the watch if needed. Place the charged watch on the child and choose Set Up for a Family Member in the Watch app, pairing via the animation or manually. Choose a memorable passcode, continue cellular service, and enable features like Ask to Buy, Messages, and Emergency SOS. Restrict contacts by toggling iCloud Contacts and using Screen Time > Family Member > Communication Limits to request and approve contact management from the child's watch. Configure Schooltime schedules from All Watches > [Child] > Schooltime > Edit Schedule.
