Ask to buy: text message with no option to approve

When my child requests "ask to buy" permission, I receive a text message instead of a notification and there is no option to approve (or refuse). Instead I have a link to "view in store". How can I accept/refuse requests?

Ask to Buy Permission Hi I used to receive my child’s ‘Ask to Buy’ requests through a notification, and it was easy to approve. However, now my child’s ‘Ask to Buy’ requests are coming through as a text message and not in my notifications. The text shows the App and only has the option to ‘view in App store’. If I view in the App Store, there is nowhere to ‘accept’ the request. How do you approve from a text message? or How can I receive the request in my notifications? Many thanks
