I think they have changed the rule. Page 2 para 2 say, "Parent or guardian must sign the J2 form if accompanying minor is under 16."

The DS-2019 form states on page 2:
The J-2 spouse/dependents should sign the J-2 form under Signature of Applicant unless the J-2 dependent is under the age of 14, in which case the J-1 exchange visitor, as the parent or legal guardian, must sign.
So you, as the person who is the J-1 visitor, should sign the J-2 DS-2019 form.
