Change how much help a child gets

Each child has one help level, which every subject follows unless you give a subject its own.

Level	What the buddy does
Strict	Never gives homework answers. Questions, hints and worked examples of similar problems only.
Balanced	Shows the answer after real effort.
Relaxed	Explains freely.

Change a child’s help level

openbuddies children mode <child> strict

Or open your parent page, go to Children, and pick a level.

Each child's settings, under Children on your parent page.

Give one subject its own level

openbuddies subjects add <child> history --mode relaxed
openbuddies subjects mode <child> maths strict

Children can add subjects themselves when they make a buddy. A new subject starts as Strict, and you can change or remove it under Children. See every subject with openbuddies subjects list <child>.

To understand how the levels work turn by turn, read Help levels and the hint ladder.
