Is there any way to disable family link temporarily?

I bought my twins a pair of Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4" tablets for Christmas and are both into Minecraft. I was going to install a couple mods they used to have on their old Fire 8 tablets, but I hit a roadblock. I can't access the com.mojang folder. I tried a few File Explorer FX, Total Commander and a third one I can't remember and all gave errors trying to copy the files needed into the folder.

At first, I thought maybe Android 11 had been too Appleized to allow access but one of the three file explorer apps I tried finally gave an error stating that it I needed to contact my system administrator and now I'm fairly sure it's Google Family link that is causing the problem.

That's, the new issue. I like Google, but their documentation leaves a lot to be desired and some options that should be easily accessible are very unintuitive. Same thing here. I can't find any way to temporarily disable Family Link in the app aside from deleting my kids account and because the tablet is set up with Family Link, it won't let me add myself as a user.

It's starting to look like the only option is to factory reset both tablets, sign in as me, install the mods, and then sign my kids in and set family link up after the mods have been installed and hope they don't find any others they want.

Before I go with the nuclear method, does anyone know of some option that Google has buried somewhere that I can't find?
