When working with new technology, there's often a learning curve attempting to figure out all the ins and outs of many characteristics. Today's portable devices have come a long way in terms of simplicity and ease of use, but when you are not used to Apple devices or via the Android platform, you may be unfamiliar with the menus for Parental Controls.
iOS calls adult controls 'Restrictions' and changing them on your best tablet for kids age 6 is rather simple. Just visit Settings>General>Restrictions. Once within the Restrictions menu, you'll effect the 'Enable Restrictions' button at the very top. Once forced, you will be forced to enter a password. The password is key (ensure you remember it! If you enter the incorrect password too many times, the device will lock) and you will be forced to enter anytime to the password you need to make changes to the constraints or even to turn them on and off.
As you scroll down through the limitations list, you'll see many different settings that may be selected to help make the tablet more kid friendly. A number of the parts that can be confined are the capability to install programs, purchase material on iTunes (books, movies, music), or use the camera or FaceTime. A great many other restrictions are available also. I have found that the ability to restrict use of films, TV, and other media centered on ratings is very useful. These scores resemble what you see on video games or shows, so every parent could have a different model of what is appropriate for their kids.
You are also able to prohibit changes to your whole variety of Privacy adjustments including: Reminders, Contacts, Photos, Calendars, Twitter, and Facebook. This will keep prying eyes (and little kid hands) from making changes to these controls or making humiliating posts on social support systems on your behalf. However, there are a few limits to any or all of these Parental Controls. For something, there is not currently a way to produce multiple logins for multiple users. This can be troublesome in families with multiple kids who use tablets. Additionally it ensures that if a grownup really wants to use the iPad after a kid, you have to change on/off the Restrictions. Preferably Apple will these issues with multiple logins in upcoming releases of iOS, as that would add considerably to utilizing their besttabletforkidsguide.com.

All in all, however, the Parental settings on iOS provide a good way to make a tablet to a normal tablet for kids.
