Apple music for a child

My 9 year old daughter has not been able to create an Apple Music account.

She should to be able to connect to our family account on "Music", right?

We do pay for a family membership, but she cannot even create an account. We get as far as "asking permission to a parent" and me accepting her request.

Our family consists of 3 people.

Please help!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.1
