Edit child information or add more detail

1. From the Children tab of the Group screen, click the child's name.
2. Make changes to any required or optional item, as needed.
   • Optional items:
     • External Reference ID can be used to input the ID from a separate database your children are in. ERID appears in LENA exports, and your data team can use this column to set up data imports or spreadsheet merges with your other system.
     • Demographics contains details on gender, language, ethnicity, and level of education that a data analyst could use for slicing your data in different ways. These details can be gathered via the opt-in consent form for your program, or on a form you create.
3. Save.
