I'm trying to add two of my sons to our family sharing. They both have Apple id's already. Because of that, I sent invitations to each and they each accepted. My problem is that they were both added as adults, not children. I'd like to restrict their purchases, but can't unless they're added as children. Any solutions short of setting up new Apple id's for them?
Thanks!
See if you can correct their dates of birth (once they're changed to be under-13 they can't be changed again) : Update the birth date associated with your Apple ID - Apple Support

I have just had the same issue, my girls have had Apple Id's for a while now and am just setting up Family Sharing and now need to update their birthdates. however when you do this it has caused more issues as when you follow their instructions it still doesn't update. I have had to email Apple Support to see if they can assist.
I do not think to set my kids date of births lower than 13, since they are 13, 16 and 17. There must be a different way to set their status to 'child' in the family sharing. This settings should be the privilige of the family sharing manager. Anyone knows how to set this correctly? My kids also have their own apple ID, and we have no control on their shopping, since the credit card is shared by the sharing manager, and they need no confirmation, since they are registered as adults. Please help!
For family sharing 'child' means under-13. As they are under-18 are you able to enable 'ask to buy' for them : Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support ?
How did they respond? I set my son up as an adult 3 years ago but, I want to change him to a child, and I can't, what do they suggest?
