Hello Poca2hontas.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you have concerns about your daughter being able to unlock your iPhone with Face ID. We will be glad to assist.
Please see the following:
"The probability that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone or iPad Pro and unlock it using Face ID is approximately 1 in 1,000,000 with a single enrolled appearance. As an additional protection, Face ID allows only five unsuccessful match attempts before a passcode is required. The statistical probability is different for twins and siblings that look like you and among children under the age of 13, because their distinct facial features may not have fully developed. If you're concerned about this, we recommend using a passcode to authenticate."
