You must be sharing an Apple ID if that is happening. If you want to use Family Sharing correctly, your child will need to have their own Apple ID. That’s how Family Sharing works. Each member has their own ID and you can share purchases, a family calendar, family reminders and you can also have a shared photo album all without sharing app or private data.


Take a look at this if you would like to set up family sharing.
