Please take my first mail in "the other thread" as a reference to this.
IMHO it is an advantage of having several groups (which can be made with
ages as well, e.g. child_5-6, child_10-12, ...), that way a config
skeleton could be build which is then applied to the members of that
group during login; that way only the group of the user has to be change
if role (age) changes.

That script should reside in the group-skeleton and all what mom then
has to do is changing the group (probably using a nice interface).
