Unable to correct my son‘s birthdate on Apple Account

I keep trying to correct my birthday because it has mine instead of his and it sends me an email to approve, but when I go to approve, it tells me I need a valid card and to take me to my account so I clicked that and I have plenty of valid cards linked so not sure what it means, but it won’t let me approve his correct bday (under 13).

You must contact Apple Support to change the date for users in that age group. It’s a privacy and security precaution.
