How to change an Apple ID from adult to child

My daughters iPad is set up as an adult using my birthday. No mater what we do we can’t change her from an adult to child. I want her on our family account as a child. I tried to remove her and readd as well as changing her birthday which is right now my birthday. Neither of those works. It goes right back to my birthday and an adult account. How do I fix this?
