how to keep kids from buying apps and it charges my debt card for every app they buy

We use family sharing/ purchase sharing and the default payment is my debt card. so every time my kids buy an app without me knowing, it charges my debt card and i cannot afford it anymore. is there a way to turn it off without deleting their apps i agreed to pay for originally? For instance they both have snapchat and a bunch of game apps that i am ok paying for. But they keep charging new apps to me without me knowing.

Read this support article please -->

Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Approve what kids buy with Ask to Buy - Apple Support

The Family Organizer receives requests by default, but another parent or guardian can be assigned permission to approve purchases.

Tell that that if you approve a purchase they need to make sure they have adequate personal balance to cover the cost of the item so it does not automatically charge your card.
