Greetings CarleysMac,


It looks like you joined the Apple Support Communities from an excellent starting point; Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support. To turn on Ask To Buy on your iPhone, did you follow the steps offered on that page under the section labeled "How to turn on or turn off Ask to Buy" for your iPhone? If not, start there. Here are the steps from that page:


On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap your name.
3. Tap Family Sharing.
4. Tap your family member's name, then tap Ask to Buy. In iOS 15 or earlier, tap Ask to Buy then tap your family member's name. 
5. Turn on or off Require Purchase Approval. 


If you've followed the steps on that page and still have the issue, you may want to reach out to Apple Support for further help with this issue. You can reach out to them by clicking here: Contact - Official Apple Support or over the phone by calling the number that is most local to your region: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support.


Best wishes!
