Child Account Birthday
Somehow my son's birthday is wrong on his apple ID making my 16yo a 5yo. Apple support says it cannot be changed. Is that true? So he will not be an adult until 29?

Hi krgillespie,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We see you have a question about the birth date on an Apple ID. That's a great question, and we have some information to share.
The information below is from the resource titled Update the birth date associated with your Apple ID:
"Change a birth date for a child
