Problem transferring a child on family sharing

Sometimes it helps to have the devices involved take a fresh look at settings:

- Try signing out of accounts and back in again.

- Restarting is a simple step that can resolve many unexpected behaviors.

If a problem persists, particularly over several days, try contacting Apple for assistance:

Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

or:

"See a list of Apple phone numbers around the world."

Click here --> Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support

Ate you performing the steps EXACTLY as written here for your particular hardware and OS?

Move a child to another group using Family Sharing - Apple Support

Specifically:

4) Tap Invite People.

5) Tap Invite in Person

6) Ask the child to enter their Apple ID and password. 

Glad you got it working.

Working w/ children within the “Apple Family” construct can be tricky.

If the device (or OS, or AppleID) is somehow “pushing-back,” it can become a non-starter (as we all re-discovered)

🤔

Had to ask … other users have repeatedly missed the “invite in person” piece.

Re: “… To check the status of the request, open System Preferences, click Family Sharing, then click the child's name …”

What - if anything - is displayed here ?

"Restarting is a simple step that can resolve many unexpected behaviors."
