Could not create an apple id account for my child.

Hello, i'm unable to create apple id for my child. I went to settings -> apple id -> family -> add to family, select 'create an account for child', then 'continue', and in new popup window it says 'cannot connect'.

Then I ask my wife to make the same from her phone (another apple id, added to family group with parent permissions), and with no luck - same error can not connect.

maybe some language is wrong (translated from another), but you've got the point.

location is poland.
