 It can be done using one device, but it is a bit more difficult using only one device. On the device, sign into Settings/Your Name with your Apple ID and set up Family Sharing. Create the child's ID. Sign out of your ID and sign in with the child's ID. Swap Settings/Your Name  in as required.


If 13 years old or older.

If under 13 years old, you will need to set up Family Sharing to create an ID.
