On the device signed in to your Child's iCloud account. Tap Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, scroll all the way down. Under Allow Changes, Tap Account Changes. Choose Allow Option.

For devices signed in the Child's iCloud account under parental control, screen time is restricted on the organizer's device.

Or on the organizer's device, tap Settings > Screen Time > Choose Child's name under family, Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. Under Allow Changes, Tap Account Changes. Choose Allow Option.

Then you can see your child's Apple ID is normal, you can sign out the Apple ID by tapping Child's iCloud account, then tap the Sign Out option.

A life story:

I can't "Sign Out" an Apple ID of my son on my iPad Pro. I recently created an Apple ID for my child (under 13) to be used on my iPad Pro to finish one of his homework on the app. I can only create my child’s Apple ID using family sharing for his age.

And now I cannot sign out with "Sign out is not available due to restrictions". I want to use my iPad Pro. How do I sign out of my child’s Apple ID and use my own again?

The Sign Out button is greyed out. How should I sign out it? And Apple has set the rule that I can’t remove my Child’s Apple ID account (under 13) from the family sharing.

Later, I tried to turn off the restrictions on Screen Time of my Child’s Apple ID, such as the Content & Privacy restrictions, Downtime restrictions, etc. Nothing happens with still the greyed-out Sign out button.

I did not sign out the restrictions successfully until I turn off screen time (with screen time passcode) and restart my iPad pro the first time. I sign out of Child’s Apple ID using the third-party software the second time when I forgot the screen time passcode.

If you are the person who switches the Apple ID between your and your child’s Apple ID on the iPad frequently. Yes, your iPad won’t let you sign out unless you turn off the screen time completely. It seems there are no restrictions at all, if the screen time is enabled on your Child’s Apple ID account on the iPhone/iPad, you won’t be able to sign out there.
