Screen time (HELP)

My child has figured out how to work around her screen time. Even when I have everything locked (texts etc) she’s figured out how to use it for one minute without asking for the passcode. Also, if you turn the phone off and back on there’s a few seconds shes still able to have access. Can anyone help with this?

iPhone 12

Screen Time not working as expected on daughter's iPhone Anyone know why screen time doesn't lock my daughters phone at the times set and limit the app to the times I've allowed? It's like Apple don't want to support us with kids wellbeing! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How can I prevent kids from disabling iPhone Screen Time settings? In my daughter‘s profile, which I can access through my settings under screen time, I will choose a limit. She is then able to go back into her phone and turn it off. What is the point of having it if, if she can turn it off 3 seconds later? Is the problem that she is now over 13 so that’s been disabled? Thanks in advance! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Screen Time reset issue on iPhone My daughter (14) keeps turning the screen time. Screen Time is set up perfectly for my other two children (10 & 12). I can track their usage completely. Yet, when I go to check my oldest's screen time - it makes me set it back up; Password and everything. Only after I set it back up, I can view her usage. I'm 32 years old, I'm very in-tune with technology, and I know I've set this up correctly. I've done extensive testing with my other children's devices and I cannot replicate this. I've also looked all over the internet to find "hacks" or "exploits," and I can't find anything. Yet, she has to be doing something. She even says " you can change the password if you want." like she knows something I don't. I change the password every time I have to set screen time back up, and all three of my children's passwords are different. Has anyone else had this happen? Any suggestions besides taking away the phone? I'm worried about her sleep health. Tl;dr Screen time on one of my daughter's phones is resetting back to set up. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
