Screen time password disappeared on child’s new phone

I upgraded my son’s phone from the iPhone 13 to iPhone 17. We have family sharing so I can restrict screen time but the password option has disappeared so now he can just open his screen time himself without my permission. There is no option to change or set a password.

iPhone 16 Plus, iOS 18
