Friend requests on ChessKid
On ChessKid, kids can send and accept friend requests from other kids. A friend is added when one kid sends a request and the other accepts it. This ensures that both kids agree to the friendship before they can play.
Adults cannot be friends with kids unless they are a Guardian or ChessKid staff.

In addition, Parent and Coach accounts can impersonate their kids to keep track of all correspondences, friends, and other behavior.
How do I impersonate my kid?
From your Parent account, click 'Manage' in the top menu and select 'Kids.'
Next to the child’s name, click the three-line icon and select 'Impersonate.'
Once impersonating their account, click 'Connect' in the left menu and select 'Friends' to view and manage your kid's friend list. You can also cancel any sent friend requests that haven't yet been accepted.
