iPad Home Sharing and family sharing are two different things though they overlap somewhat in function. Home Sharing is an iTunes feature that lets you share your media library with up to 5 computers (called authorized computers) in your house. This can include movies, music, apps and TV shows.
However, if you want to selectively share your iPad itself with other family members (including minors) then you can use the iPad's Restrictions feature to temporarily disable apps that you do not want shared. You can find this under Settings > General > Restrictions, and also set a 4-digit passcode for it. This feature lets you set restrictions for the major apps like Safari, iTunes, YouTube, Camera, Facetime and Ping.
Other than app restrictions, you can also set online restrictions in the form of private browsing. For secure sharing and better online security, install privacy & data security apps like HidePad.

Help deciding - iPad 4 vs. iPad Air?
Contra
Ok, so I have a set budget. I was going to get the 64GB iPad 4 w/ Verizon, but I can't help but feel like it's just not going to be as good as the iPad Air. Is the iPad Air really that much faster than the iPad 4? Is the speed that much different? That's my main concern - speed. I don't want lagging or freezing or anything like that and I just want to know are they really THAT much different when it comes to it?
My 2nd concern is that if I do get the iPad Air, I can only afford the 32GB w/ cellular. I'm not quite sure if that's enough space either. I don't have many songs to put on there. My iPhone is a 16GB but it's completely full. I can't ever download anything else, even when I delete an app or 2 - it's not enough space for new things. I have 6 songs, about 1,000 pictures (the pictures alone take up 3.7GB) and about 88 apps including the ones that come pre-loaded (App Store, Camera, etc.). I'll want to put MOST but not all of those apps on my iPad - I don't really need a lot of music, I have Pandora & Spotify, and I want to watch TV but not download movies/shows, just use apps like HBO Go and Hulu to stream. I like to take pictures, but not sure I'll be using it as much as my iPhone for that.
Can someone help me decide? Is the iPad Air worth getting or should I stick to the last model with more space?
Also, when getting a cellular model, do I have the option of never activating it unless I need to? I read Verizon has daily plans - how do those work exactly? If I went somewhere that didn't have wifi could I just pay for a daily plan and use it for that day/until the MB were used up? Or do I have to have an actual cell plan/contract with them to use the cellular network period?
Thank you for your help!

While iPad Air is definitely faster and supports newer hardware, there's no reason not to get the iPad 4 because that's a prety good tablet in its own right. It was released in 2012, which isn't that old. The hardware is appreciably fast enough for movies, music and apps without freezing (I know because I have this model)
Also, if you plan to use WiFi more than cellular then simply get the WiFi model. I reckon if you go for a cellular + WiFi model then the data plans would be factored in and charged too, on a monthly basis (i.e., there would be a contract involved).
Coming back to ipad 4 vs iPad Air, if your budget is good enough for the 64 GB iPad 4 then go for it. Given your storage requirements, a 64 GB iPad 4 makes far better overall sense than compromising with a 32 GB iPad Air.
Besides, iPad 4 also supports the latest iOS 7, so it should be a good choice for you, for the next couple of years.

Lastly, there are speculations about Apple working on a newer (larger) iPad for a 2014 release:
