Child Apple ID age and Apple Sharing

I’m new to Apple products as a parent, I’m going to be giving 2 teens iPhones soon but want to set them up as secure as I can before giving them. I want to do the Apple Family Sharing but as far as I know they can remove themselves age 16 and over (Aus).

So am I best to set their Apple ID DOB a bit younger so I’ve more control over their phones and restrictions and so they can’t remove themself from the family sharing? Then I can update their DOB when I believe they’re ready?

See Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support. Not features I've ever used, but separate I believe from the Family Sharing mechanism which covers the sharing of purchases and services. I'd be surprised if there is any benefit to deliberately setting the wrong dates of birth for your children.
