How do measure child development when using child iphone applications?

For example my nephew is 20 months old and he can match letters in a drag and drop app. I don't think he knows that an A is an A, However he can match all 26 letters in the alphabet.

Learning is just trail and error I've noticed. He possibly just does it enough times to memorize what is what.

How to make my iPhone don't download applications not exist?

I'm okay with them using safari or playing games etc but I don't want them to read my messages, whatsapp, facebook etc. So I wanted to know about any way to set passwords for these apps without jailbreaking.
