I bought myself a Switch OLED and have allowed my young son to use my old Switch in docked mode to play Mario Kart. I created him a child account but the problem is that he is constantly exiting the game, accidentally switching user accounts and messing with the Switch settings. I've played with Parental Controls but I can see no way to stop him getting into the settings or possibly messing up my user account save games. What can I do? Can I remove my adult account from the Switch so it has only his child account on it? Will he still be able to play games purchased on my account? Can I protect the Switch settings from modification?

Thanks for any help!

My idea - if your switch was hacked, or if you bought a controller adapter, you may be able to remap / disable the home button on the controller.
So, you'd give him a controller, home button wouldn't work, and he wouldn't be able to quit the game that you load up for him.

I may even go as far as, getting an xbox one controller, opening it up, disabling the home button with some kapton tape, and using it with this on the switch.
