Short answer
Partly. Khanmigo lets parents read their children's chat history and get safety alerts. ChatGPT for Teens lets a linked parent set Study Hours so homework chats start in Study Mode. Most photo-solver apps offer no parent view, so device-level controls and house rules do the rest.
Tools with real parent features
Khanmigo is managed through a parent account. Parents can add up to 10 children on one $4-a-month or $44-a-year subscription, review chat history and receive safety alerts.
ChatGPT for Teens, rolled out globally from August 2026 to accounts identified as under 18, adds age-appropriate protections, optional parental controls, homework reminders and Study Hours that a linked parent can set.
Synthesis Tutor, for ages 5–11, runs under a parent-managed family plan.
Tools without a parent view
Photo solvers such as Photomath, Gauth and Question.AI, and the study modes in Gemini and Copilot, do not offer a dedicated parent dashboard for homework use. Here, app store age ratings, device parental controls and family rules matter more.
What to watch for
Homework that is perfect while quiz scores fall, solutions written with methods the class hasn't learned, and a child who can't explain an answer they turned in.

Can I force ChatGPT into Study Mode for my teen?
On ChatGPT for Teens, a linked parent can set Study Hours so new chats during those times start in Study Mode by default. It does not block regular ChatGPT outside those hours.
