Hey Marwilli,
To expand on Judyth's excellent answer, I wanted to note that there is a special provision in the law for 2021 only that 17 years olds do qualify for Child Tax Credit this year. Again, this is a change only for 2021 - otherwise, you are correct that they are generally too old to qualify.
