Sounds cool but that vacation itinerary isn't as meaningful to your 7 year old as it is to you. Also sounds like a nightmare to manage and a liability when Google decides that 7 year olds can't have accounts so it's deleted (PayPal blocked my account after 15 years because they found out I opened it when I was a teenager)
If you want to preserve documents, keep them in your own drive/cloud and share the folder once they're capable.
Also once they use/need an email, they probably don't need one created by mom 12 years ago already filled with junk that isn't theirs — just my opinion though.
- eitally 2y agoGoogle lets you create kid accounts and manage them within your family entity, which also then allows you to share purchased apps with them, share Youtube/Music/TV subscriptions, etc. When kids get to be 13, you can convert those accounts to full accounts (but still optionally manage them using Family Link). I don't care if things like vacation itineraries and emailed stories about the things we/they did together when they were small matter to them or not. We're just giving them the opportunity to make that decision, rather than not have those memory enhancers at all. My wife's family basically never kept anything, and my dad's house burned down with all our old printed photos, kid projects and keepsakes in it. It's easy to mitigate some of this potential loss through digital means. You're of course welcome to your opinion.
