Cannot use my child’s iPad for my apps

I’ve got a child set up under family sharing.

i have logged her out her iPad and have logged in as me and does not allow me to download apps for over 12 even though I am signed in with my own ID.

it must recognize that it’s my daughters iPad.

any way around this for me to use it occasionally without having to reset the iPad?

Why can't my child see the apps I've purchased? I've done everything in the help article on this topic - enable family sharing, enable sharing of purchased apps, sign out and sign in on the device, add child to the family group, and check to make sure the apps support family sharing. And still, she can't see any of my apps on her iPhone 7. Is there anything else I can do to get her the apps I've already paid for?

Family sharing is so complicated I can’t understand how to connect my sons iPads to my iPhone. Because all purchases have been done through his account, I paid for them. But he cannot connect to mine because he is a kidand his account is restricted. And for some reason I can’t connect to his account. So he can’t play his games on my phones. Very sad.

No App Store on Child’s iPad I purchased my 11 yr old an iPad mini 4 and attempted to set him up as a child under family sharing account. He has a new child Apple ID and is added as a child under my family sharing on my Apple ID. When I set up his iPad his App Store icon disappeared. I reset his iPad and while the App Store icon reappeared he was no longer associated with my family share account. I reassociated him and boom. His App Store icon disappears. How are we supposed to download any content other than from the iTunes icon if there is no App Store? This renders his iPad essentially useless. Help! How do I keep him as a child on my account and allow him access to the App Store?

Do you have an app age rating set in Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions ?
