Child's Apple Watch (FAMILY SHARING) refuses to share location

New SE watch with most current iOS. New Child's account paired with my iPhone.

On watch LOCATION SERVICES and SHARE LOCATION ENABLED. (green sliding bar appears)

On iPhone FIND MY app - I see the phone, which indicates "Not Sharing Location - Online"

Both devices restarted

Can't see location of family member's device (watch) This used to work fine. Now it isn't. I have powered off and on both devices. I set up my daughter's Apple Watch with one ID and connected it to Family Share. On Apple Watch (SE), I have gone to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Location Services & Share My Location are both ON ... and Find Devices/Find People are set to "While Using" On my iPhone (latest version), all Locations on, in Find My app, I see my daughter's Device "Apple Watch" listed, but says "Not Sharing Location - Online" ... AND her iPad reads the same "Not Sharing Location - Online" Any other ideas?

Child’s location not updating on Apple Watch SE I purchased an Apple Watch SE with GPS plus cellular for my daughter. She does not have a phone. I set up her service through family share. Location updating has been an intermittent problem but has recently become almost useless. Location will not update for hours and when it does, it’s not a specified location. I get a message saying: Approximate Location We currently cannot show the precise location. Your friend is somewhere in the circle. All of our devices are updated. Please help!
