3. Next, head to the parental settings section of the Spotify Kids app and enter your four-digit pin.
4. Tap the “Shared Playlists” section in your kids’ profile. Then, you’ll be able to see your Spotify playlists and select the ones you want to share with each child.
5. If the parents are the first time to do this, a pop-up screen will appear to confirm that you want to share the playlist. After, the child can access the playlist on their homepage from a new “Shared with You” section.
