I set my son's birthdate to 13 for his iPhone when I first got it to have more parental control over the content he had access to. He is now 18 and I would like to update his birthday and remove the parental controls. How do I do that?

If the current age is less than 13, then you will need to contact Apple Support and have them change the Birthdate. Link-> contact Apple Support
If the current age is over 13, then you can change it directly by following the steps provided: link-> Update the birth date associated with your Apple ID - Apple Support
You can keep your son in Family Sharing. you do not need to remove the Apple ID, nor create a new one.
I am the Family Organizer. For better or worse I set up my sons' iPhones with birthdates that were younger than they actually were, because I thought it best that they have the Parental Controls associated with that through their high school years. My oldest son is now heading to college and I want to change his birthdate to his actual birthdate, which lifts the parental controls.
Is there a way to do this? Or do I have to remove him from Family Share, have him create a new account with his actual age, and add him back to my Family Share?
I guess that's my real question.
How to remove parental controls on my son's iPhone?
