You need to join as a parent first, with your name and your own details; and then, under 'roles' 'Parent' you can add your children - join them to the correct age group.
Once your application has been processed, you can log back in to add their full details - e.g. date of birth (note the formatting carefully). To do this go to 'my account' again and look for the child's name in red at the top; click to open the info page; save when done.
