There is no way to set it up so that you can see her photos and messages but she can't see yours. It's all or nothing.
If you are using family sharing you should not be sharing an Apple ID -> Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support
Family sharing is not designed as a spying mechanism.
Don’t share Apple ID’s, create a child’s ID for her.
but will i be able to have some access to what she does on her phone?
You can use Screen Time to control some of what she does but you will not be able to see her texts, emails, etc. without looking at her phone.
so she will have to log of my icloud and then create a new one for herself? so what exactly does family sharing do?
hmmm...ok. well i guess this will have to do. I just don't want her seeing my stuff, lol. thank you for your help.
How do i keep my child's iphone from seeing my messages?
