Use one parent login and the Change student button to switch between their profiles. ### **For counselors: invite the parent from each student's Bio Banner** Repeat these steps on **each** child's student record, using the **same parent email address** each time. 1. Open the first student's record by clicking the **pencil** icon to the left of the student's name. 2. Open the **Contacts (Parent Portals)** banner. 3. If the parent isn't listed yet, click **Add New Contact**, enter the parent's name and email, and click **Save**. 4. Next to the parent's contact name, click the **lock** icon to send the Parent Portal invite. ![firststudentparentinvite](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/firststudentparentinvite.png?width=670&height=324&name=firststudentparentinvite.png) 5. Open the second child's record and repeat steps 1–4, using the **exact same parent email address**.![secondstudent](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/secondstudent.png?width=670&height=316&name=secondstudent.png) ### **For parents: accept the invitations** You'll receive a **separate invitation email for each child**. - **First invitation:** open the email, scroll down to **Reset password**, set your password and log in. ![firstemailinviteparent](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/firstemailinviteparent.png?width=670&height=335&name=firstemailinviteparent.png) - **Each additional invitation:** log in with the **same email address and password** you already set up. Don't create a new account. Your other child is added to your existing login.   ### **Switch between your children** I'm logged in but only see one of my children. Where is my other child? Both children are in your account. The portal simply shows one child at a time. 1. Log in to your CounselMore parent portal. 2. At the top of the screen, find your child's name and student information. 3. Click the **Change student** button beside it. ![change student](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/change%20student.png?width=670&height=310&name=change%20student.png) 4. Select your other child. The portal switches to their profile, assignments and information. ![selectstudent](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/selectstudent.png?width=670&height=307&name=selectstudent.png) You can switch back and forth anytime. You don't need to log out or use a second account. If siblings are working with **different counseling companies or counselors**, the parent portal still works with a single login.
