How to prevent my child from changing restrictions on Family Sharing on iPhone?

Hi,

I transferred my son’s data from his old phone onto my old phone but now he has the family sharing on there which is fine but it’s showing like it does on my phone and giving him the option to change all the restrictions. It was not like that on his old phone. Didn’t show the family sharing where he can change the restrictions like I can from my phone.

hope that makes sense?

how do I remove that option off his phone?
