How can I stop sharing photo's with my child's device?

Hi veeteejay,

To clarify, Family Sharing doesn't automatically share personal photos. Have you possibly set up a shared album? Or is the child's device also signed into your same Apple ID? If they are, the best recommendation is for them to have their own Apple ID on their device.

We'd recommend taking a look at this checklist to see if you're inadvertently sharing any of the topics covered:

• How to stop sharing your iPhone or iPad content - Apple Support

Of particular note is step 4 concerning photos:

"In the Photos app , tap Albums, then go to Shared Albums. Select a shared album, and tap People to see the owner of the shared album and whom it’s shared with.

• If you’re the album owner and would like to stop sharing, tap the name of the subscriber you want to stop sharing with, then select that option.
• If you’re a subscriber, you can tap Unsubscribe from the bottom of the screen. You can also delete any photos that you shared."

Cheers!

Hello veeteejay,

We appreciate that information and all of the troubleshooting you have completed. Is your child’s iPad using your Apple ID? If so, we recommend you create an Apple ID for your child using the steps here: Create an Apple ID for your child - Apple Support

"On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

To verify that you're an adult, you need a credit card. On your iPhone, you can also use a driver's license or state ID added to Wallet where available.

In iOS 16 or iPadOS 16 or later

1. Go to Settings > Family. 
2. Tap the Add Member button .
3. Tap Create Child Account, then tap Continue.
4. Enter the child's name and birth date. Be sure to enter the correct birth date — you can't change it later.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to finish setting up the account. For your child's Apple ID, you can use their email address, the suggested @icloud.com address, or their Game Center nickname. "

Let us know the results.

Take care.
