Family Sharing accounts for text & facetime

I have created accounts for my children (ages 8 & 9) under my Apple ID using family sharing. They now each have their own icloud account & password. Unfortunately I cannot figure out how to enable Facetime or text on their ipads. I tried logging out of my Apple ID & logging with their new credentials, but I am unable to. Can anyone help please? Thank you.

Family Sharing with elderly parent I added my mom to my apple family sharing on an iPad I purchased for her in 2021. My mom has a cell phone, not a smart phone and her number is not connected to the iPad. I would like her to be able to use the Face Time app on her iPad with wifi only with Family Sharing and not have access to my FaceTime messages. How do I do that?

Your apple ID and phone number are now being used for Facetime on a new ipad I recently downloaded an app on my kid's ipads that turns off their apps once the timer goes off. however when they do have access my wife, whose apple id is on the ipads, get a pop up every time they can play. i am asking how can we get that pop up to stop every time they log in to play on their ipads. the image below is the pop that she gets on her mac and iPhone. how do i get the below pop to stop coming up on her mac and iPhone?

You have to create new Apple ID’s for each child. Did you do that? Take a look at this.
