Question

Family Share - does not give me the option to accept

I have created family share on my ipad and emailed an invite to my 9 year old son. He does not have an apple account because he is too young. I want him to accept the family share invite but he can not unless I log in with my apple account. If I do this it says I am the organiser!! Now my sons ipad thinks he is me and when he adds games to his they appear on mine!!

Please help!! What do I do ?

Hello Caroline,

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

It sounds like you're setting up Family Sharing so your son can download items from the App Store.

Since your son is 9 years old, you need to create an Apple ID for him using the steps in this article:

Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support

You will be able to add this new Apple ID to the iPad your son uses.

All the best,

Jeremy
