Didn’t finish setting up child account

My phone crashed Before I finished setting up my child’s Apple ID account. Now it is like an adullt account and it doesn’t not show up in family sharing to set up screen time limits. How can I go back and finish setting this up for a child account?

Cannot see child screen time in family sharing. I can not activate screen time on my kids phones. As I’ve read through the forums, I see that I am listed as organizer, and both of my kids are listed as adult. I am assuming that implies they are 18+, which limits the screen time. How do I change them to Child accounts? And does mine have to be listed as Parent? If so, how?

how do i change my childs account from a adult to a child How do I change my child's account on family sharing to a child account. It is an adult account and does not give me the option to make it a child account for screen time control.

Family Screen Time Settings reset intermittently and automatically on child's device I have set up Family Screen Time for 3 of my children's Apple ID. For 2 of them, Down Time, App Limits, Content & Privacy Restrictions work flawlessly on their phones and iPad. But the 3rd child's AppleID, which I added to my Family recently does not work properly. Intermittently, all Screen Time settings on her phones, e.g. Down Time, App Limits, Content & Privacy Restrictions just got reset automatically to no restriction. This happens once every few days, or some times a few times in a day. I am sure the child is not playing some trick because I witness this issue happening while her phone was in my possession. Also, she would always come to me and report that she suddenly can now play games without any limits at any time. Has anyone anyone else experienced this issue and found a way to sort it out?
