Jan 10, 2015 11:16 AM in response to Fyomaxby Winston Churchill,No that's not possible, however I'm not sure of the problem, once it's restored unless you've given the child your password to your account, they can't purchase anything.

Jan 10, 2015 11:31 AM in response to Fyomaxby KiltedTim,If that's a real concern then check it occasionally. If it's been restored or reset in a way that lets them do that, take it away from them.

May 24, 2015 7:42 AM in response to Winston Churchillby stew4you,TThis is a pretty significant issue that Apple needs to address. It is too easy for a child to access the reset function and blow away all the parental controls. To say nothing about the annoyance factor of having to rebuild all your system settings. I guess taking it away as an option, maybe I'll replace it with a Roku or another competitors device. Is that what Apple would prefer?
