Set Up an E-mail Account for Your Child That You Can Monitor

Click on the circle next to "Forward a copy of incoming mail to" to select that option. Enter the e-mail address at which you want to receive copies of your child's e-mails in the box. Use the drop-down menu to choose what you want to happen to the messages in the Gmail inbox after they have been forwarded. If your child will be actively using the account, you'll probably want to leave them in the inbox; if not, set it to archive (messages are saved, but no longer show in the inbox) or delete the messages. When you're done, be sure to hit the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the screen.
