Google Shared Calendars not showing in iphone or ipad

We normally manage the kids schedules on my wifes google calendar but today we decided that it was time they managed their own calendars - so we shared their calendars on our own calendars.

But it didnt sync on the iphone.

Further investigation revealed that you need to enable sync on your own calendar to allowed shared calendars to appear on your iphone

Use  https://calendar.google.com/calendar/syncselect  and choose the calendars to show.. then go into your IOS calendar app, choose the Calendars button, and press the refresh (circle-arrow) button.

For some reason this only affects the iphone - you dont need to do this for android or shared calendars!
