Some comments:

It's weird seeing the kid number pushed so hard on the dashboard. I'm in college, so that's not really a feature that applies to me.

I'm not a fan of the date picker, an actual calendar popup would be better IMO.

If people are getting unique IDs, it should much rather be a GUID rather than what appears to be an incrementing index.

What's wrong with an incrementing index?

An incrementing index suggests comparison. If you are closer to friend #35 than you are to friend #8, it can feel strange to be exposed to that kind of numbering.

My concern was that it seems like the person ID is shared with all users.

The first person I added was somewhere in the 2000s, rather than starting at 1.
