I (resident alien) have a non resident child , can I elect to change status for her?

Hello, 

 

My status has changed to resident alien (starting 2024). My wife and daughter are both still non resident aliens (F2 visa, first came to US in 2022 so they should be resident in 2027).

I know that my wife can elect to be resident and obtain ITIN and we can file jointly.

My question is on my child, can we do the same with her (elect to go for resident alien status without waiting for 2027) and get her ITIN and include in our taxes?
