How Do I Change the Age on My Child's Google Account?

Published in Google Account Management 1 min read

You cannot directly change the age on a child's Google Account. Google uses the age information provided during account creation to determine the appropriate level of features and content available to the child.

However, you can update the child's age if it is inaccurate. Here's how:

  1. Sign in to your child's Google Account.
  2. Go to "My Account" settings.
  3. Navigate to the "Personal info" section.
  4. Click on "Edit" next to the child's birthday.
  5. Enter the correct birthdate and save the changes.

Remember, changing the birthdate will affect the level of access your child has to Google products and services. For example, if you increase their age, they may gain access to features previously restricted.

If you need to change the age for a different reason, such as a mistake during account creation, you can contact Google Support for assistance. They may be able to help you update the information or provide guidance on alternative solutions.
