For anyone else who asks this:
At the bottom of the main DNA page is a grey bar with the caption Useful Links on the right. The first line underneath this says "Activate a test".
If you click on this you get a page headed "Activate your DNA kit" and beneath that it invites you to Continue as .... or you sign in under a different name.
If you click on Continue as ... you go to the next page where you are asked who is providing the DNA sample. You are shown "A child" or beneath that "Help activate a DNA kit for another adult".
After clicking you see this (the important part):
Protecting personal data is important to us.
We require that a DNA kit be activated by the person providing the DNA sample, or their parent or legal guardian if they are under the age of 18.
Once the person providing the DNA sample activates their kit, they can give you full access to view and manage their test results through your Ancestry account.
Enter their email to help them get started.
