Q: 15 yr old showing as adult when added to family sharing

My 15 yr old showed up as an adult when I added her to family sharing. I don't want her to be able to make purchases without asking. Is the age lower than 18 in the US? And is there nothing I can do to change her privileges short of removing her? It seems there needs to be some other options available in family sharing.

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2

Hello Wyntersolstice,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

If you want to enable Ask to Buy for any member of your Family Sharing group, then follow the directions in the article below. In the US, people who are 13 or under are in the children category.
