How can I prevent my child from changing Screen Time settings?

Hi, Has anyone got any tips to stop my child changing the time to get around downtime? I've followed the standard instructions, they work on my phone but not on my child or my wife's? Any ideas??

Sure, tell the kids you know what they are doing and if they do it again you'll take away the privilege of them using the phone. As a father of three and grandfather of 7 I know it works.
