hi. I changed my kid age on the account so he won’t be considered as adult but when i try to control his screen time restrictions on his phone i can’t see any options like my other kids . What should i do to solve this issue? Thanks for the help and have a nice day. Oded

If the account still shows as adult, then the age has not been changed. You may need to actually change the age.
click here ➜ Update the birth date associated with your Apple ID - Apple Support
click here ➜ Use parental controls on your child's iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
and here ➜ Set up Screen Time for a family member on iPad - Apple Support
In reality there should be no difference between screen time options for a child and an adult.
Read these two articles.

Set up parental controls with Family Sharing on iPhone - Apple Support
Remember that if you do major settings changes on devices and other devices are involved, it helps to sign out and back into accounts or at least restart the devices so they take a fresh look at settings.
The Apple ID age has nothing to do with Screen time restrictions.
Available Screen Time restrictions don't change based on account age. Screen Time has the same options always.
What options are you not seeing exactly?
I still see that my kid account considered as an “adult” and I don’t see any “screen time” option on the family sharing option? (My kid age is 13.5 before the change he opened and account on age 20.5)
I approved the change of the age by email sent by apple and i also logged to my kid account and saw that the aged as been changed properly so i have no idea what to do next. I also tried to change on my kid iPhone the settings but i still can’t see any screen time on the family sharing
