I’m trying to change my 11 year old daughter who is in my family sharing from a adult status to a child status so I can limit things on her phone .

iPhone 12

As far as I know you can't convert an AppleID from Adult to Child. You are more than likely just going to want to create a brand new AppleID for your child:


-> Create an Apple ID for your child - Apple Support


You may want to reach out to Apple Support over the phone so they can confirm this and/or walk you through creating the Family Share/Screen Time settings.


-> Call Apple Support 1-800-APL-CARE

(Local + International Numbers plus ASL support)

Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support


Otherwise, these links might come in handy:

Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
