Iphone screentime resets itself repeatedly!!

Has there been a solution to this problem? An Apple expert could provide the answer. I have the same problem like many others with my own kids phones. Been for several months already. I set the screen time on in my child iphone and adjust the settings, for example, application usage times and blocking for Adult entertainment pages. But repeatedly I notice the screen time restrictions go off. Next day or next week. I always change the password when I notice this, but I really don't think my children are smart and patient enough to figure out the pin code every time. this week alone I have had to activate the settings several times already. Why doesn't this screen time setting stay on and PLEASE tell me what should I do keep it on.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 16

It is not clear whether you are setting Screen Time Passcode for your device or your daughter's Screen Time Passcode through your device.


Please see the pic below which is self-explanatory.
