Iphone Charger
Avoid using an iPhone charger to charge your iPad. The two devices both operate at different wattages – the iPhone at 5 watts and the iPad at 10 watts. And their chargers follow suit.

If your children regularly use your iPad and you don’t want them exposed to pornography and violence, enable the parental controls. Go to the menu for settings and set up filters for mature content. You can block anything you want from here.
