Can You Remove a Child Under 13 from Family Link?
As of now, children under the age of 13 must be part of a family group managed by a parent or guardian. Therefore, you cannot remove a child under 13 from the family link. However, when your child turns 13, they will gain more control over their account, including the ability to manage their own account.
Alternative Options
If you’re unable to log in to the admin Nintendo Account for the family group or if you’re unwilling to contact Nintendo Support, you can explore alternative options to unlink your child from the family group. Here are a few options to consider:
• Create a new Nintendo Account: Create a new Nintendo Account for your child and transfer their data from their existing account to the new one.
• Convert the child’s account to a solo account: Convert the child’s account to a solo account, which will give them more control over their own account.
• Delete the child’s account: Delete the child’s account from your family group and create a new one.
Conclusion
Unlinking your child from the family link Nintendo is a simple process that can be completed in a few steps. Before unlinking your child, ensure you have the necessary information and that the alternative options are explored.
