Family Sharing and Iwatch

My daughter was given an iwatch to use with her phone. However, she is 11 years old. So, she is too young for an Apple ID. I have Family Sharing plan, but I don’t know how to set her watch up using that. Does anyone have an experience with this?

To do family sharing to Apple Watch or not I feel like I may know the answer but here it goes. My son who is 9 has an iPhone SE gen 2 (parental controls enforecd) which he uses regularly to be in touch etc and takes good care of it otherwise this wouldn't be a topic lol. I was wondering if I were go get him an apple watch se cellular version if it would it be more beneficial on my end to just set it up with family sharing anyway instead of directly on his iphone Any thoughts/ advice is appreciated.

Apple Watch and family sharing. If I have an Apple SE cellular watch, can I give it to my child on a few occasions, he is riding his bike to school once a week and I want him to be able to let me know her has arrived safely. And will I need to set up family sharing?

Apple Watch and family sharing I am wanting to set up an Apple Watch series 3 (because it’s the smallest size watch) for my kids using the family sharing because they don’t have their own iPhones and I am wondering this can be done with the Apple Watch Series 3 (cellular and gps model) or whether it has to be a Series 4 or newer?

You can create an Apple ID for her since you have a Family Sharing Plan.
