Q: Your birthday is required to join a Family
I'm trying to add my 11-year-old daughter's iPad to the "Family" in iCloud, so I can track its location. When I try to enter her her via her e-mail address, it says "Your birthday is required to join a Family." However, I can't add her birth year (2004) to her AppleID, since she's under 13. Apple- you mind messed up this situation for all kids with iDevices. How do I go about adding her to the iCloud Family?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
