Restrict what Apple TV content is shared

I've figured out how to share movies bought on Apple TV. But now my kids aged 5 and 9 have access to all movies we've ever bought.


One would think that the kids Icloud accounts, that have information about their age, would be able to filter PG content on their devices.


I haven't found a manual way of filtering what movies they have access to on their devices.


Is this not a feature, or have I missed something?


note: I do think the "screen time", Family Sharing and other settings on the IPad and IPhone are very unintuitive and difficult to use so I might well have missed it.

I don't have practical experience with Screen Time, but see Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support to enable content restrictions. FWIW you can also use the steps in Hide and unhide music, movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and books - Apple Support to hide specific items from your purchase history, which will stop those items showing up when your kids review the movies they might access from your account.
