Must approve Screen Time requests twice every time

For some reason, whenever my daughter requests screen time from her phone I get the screen time request notification and approve, but it doesn’t go through and she has to ask a second time. It seems to stick the second time. Quite annoying, any ideas?

Not receiving screen time requests from one kid I have family set up on two kids phones and haven’t had any issues but this last week one kiddos screen time requests for Apps are not coming through. I am not getting the push notifications like I normally do, the other kids phone is still coming through. If I look at the phone that is not working it’s says failed afterwards and it takes you to a text message sent to my email address. I can see the request in screen time under the kid and approve it that way but it’s nice getting the push notification. I am not sure what happened but would love to fix it.

Screen time notifications not working I no longer receive screen time notifications from my kids. They used to come through as a banner, etc. Now my kids text me and ask if I got their request. I have to go into screen time and the request is there but that is the only way I can see it. It’s very frustrating!

Screen time. My childs screen time requests no longer reach my phone as they now try to send via message. The message fails to send. This has just started happening. is there a solution to revert back to how I used to be notified?
