Family's text notifications showing up on my lock screen

We have 4 iphones in our house all connected as "family." Each phone has a separate Apple ID with a different email address. This strange things is only happening on my phone: The lock screen shows the text notifications from the other 3 people in the family. I do not actually get their texts, just these notifications that show which number received the text with a time stamp. Any idea how to remedy this quirky iphone behavior?

I've been using Family Sharing since the beginning of it, but have never witnessed this behavior. Do you have Parental controls setup for people in the Family group? I cannot seem to find a definition anywhere explaining it. Maybe someone else will read and respond to this that may have an idea. If not, you can also try Apple Support. You can try a chat with them by using the Apple Support app. Download that to your device and use it to contact Support.
