Hey Castrogirls3,


I see that you are experiencing an issue with Messages on your iPhone. The issue you are seeing seems to indicate that you might be signed into iMessage on your daughter’s iPhone under your own Apple ID. You can access the iMessage settings through the Settings app. For more information, take a look at this link:

If your daughter is not yet old enough to have her own Apple ID, you may want to consider creating a special Apple ID for her that can be used for children under 13:
