Is there a way to change a role from adult to child in family sharing

My 6 year old was set up as an adult in error on family sharing and I need to change it to a child’s account but I am having trouble figuring out how.

In many countries the age is 13 or lower for a child.

For a child under 13 you will have to contact Apple:
