Approving change age of an apple ID to child age under 13

My child changed her age on the apple ID to under 13 and it says pending approval; yet I do not see anywhere in the email I received that gives the option to approve the change.

Hello moi288,


Thanks for posting this in the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you’re having issues related to the possible change of the birth date associated with an Apple ID. I can help. It appears that this change hasn't been finalized since it's still pending approval. 


Here's an excerpt from an article that explains this: 


"To change your birth date to any age below 13*, you must be a member of a Family Sharing group, and your family organizer must approve the change. After updating your birth date, follow the onscreen steps to send an email request to your family organizer. Your family organizer should click Approve Request in the email, then sign in with their Apple ID to confirm the birth date change and agree to the Parent Privacy Disclosure agreement by entering the requested information from their account payment method."


Update the birth date associated with your Apple ID


Take care.
