Some of the most important reading relationships in a child’s life do not happen under one roof. A grandparent who asks about the latest book over a phone call. A parent who travels for work and still wants to know what their kid finished this week. Reading has always been something families do together, and now YOMU makes room for more of the people who matter.
Today we are introducing the ability to add more than one guardian to your family. That means a second parent, and grandparents too.
The more the merrier!
Both parents can now follow the same reading activity, progress, and rewards. No more relaying updates secondhand. When your child finishes a book or keeps a streak going, everyone in the family sees it at the same time.
Grandparents, front and center
This is the part we are most excited about. A grandparent can join as a guardian, and can even be the primary guardian on the account. That opens a direct line between grandparents and grandchildren through something they already love sharing: books.
Grandparents can see what their grandchildren are reading, celebrate their progress, and offer rewards of their own. For families spread across different cities, it is a simple and steady way to stay close.
How to get started
Open your family settings in YOMU and send an invite to a second parent or a grandparent. Once they accept, they will have their own way into your child’s reading life, with the access that fits their role.
Reading was never meant to be a solo activity. Now the people who care about your child’s reading can all be part of it.
